What is Upneeq?

Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, is the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying lids) in adults. Upneeq works by stimulating the Müller’s muscle, which helps lift the upper eyelid. This results in a noticeable improvement in the appearance of droopy eyelids, making your eyes look wider, brighter, and more alert. The effects of Upneeq are temporary, lasting for about six to eight hours, making it a great option for those seeking a non-surgical solution for droopy eyelids.
