The Only FDA-Approved Eye Drop for Low-Lying Lids (Acquired Ptosis)
If you’ve noticed your eyelids starting to droop or your eyes appearing more tired or sleepy than usual, you may be experiencing a condition known as acquired ptosis. Also referred to as low-lying lids or acquired blepharoptosis, this common condition occurs when the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid begin to weaken with age or external factors.
Upneeq® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop designed to treat acquired ptosis by lifting the upper eyelid without surgery. In just minutes, it can help open the eyes for a more refreshed, awake appearance — and in many cases, improve vision by clearing the line of sight.
Understanding Low-Lying Eyelids
Acquired ptosis can develop over time, often due to aging, contact lens wear, eye surgeries, or repetitive eye rubbing. The result is a weakened levator muscle — the one responsible for lifting your upper eyelid. This can cause:
A tired, sleepy, or uneven appearance
Reduced field of vision
Eye strain or difficulty keeping the eyes open
Impact on self-confidence or facial symmetry
While ptosis can be subtle, even a slight droop can significantly affect how you look — and how well you see.
Fast-Acting, Non-Invasive Eyelid Lift
Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.1%) works by stimulating Müller’s muscle, a tiny muscle in the eyelid that helps keep it elevated. With just one drop per eye, most patients notice a lift within 5 to 15 minutes, with results lasting up to 8 hours.
Clinical studies have shown:
84% of patients saw a visible lift in the upper eyelid
Up to 1 mm of lift in the upper eyelid for many users
Significant improvement in superior visual field in patients with visual impairment
Whether you’re looking for a nonsurgical treatment option for droopy lids or want to refresh your eyes before a big event, Upneeq delivers noticeable results — fast.
A Daily Drop That Makes a Big Difference
Upneeq is ideal for patients who:
Want to correct mild to moderate acquired ptosis without surgery
Are not yet candidates (or not interested) in blepharoplasty
Want a refreshed appearance for events, meetings, or photos
Experience eyelid heaviness that impacts their daily life or vision
It’s easy to use, well tolerated, and doesn’t require a long-term commitment. Many patients use it as part of their morning routine, while others reach for it on days they want a lift — literally.
