What Causes Low-Lying Lids

Upneeq is designed to treat people with low-lying lids. A low-lying lid is an upper eyelid that occludes the top of the iris, the colored part of the eye. In some cases, it is genetic.

Other causes are:

Eye lid pressure due to sagging skin, cysts, or edema
Eye surgery or eye injury
Fatigue or years of wearing contact lenses
Myasthenia gravis or autoimmune disorders

How It Works

This non-invasive vision-improving treatment works thanks to the oxymetazoline in the solution. Oxymetazoline is an alpha adrenergic agonist that encourages Muller’s muscle contractions. Put another way, it forces your eyelids to raise because the levator palpebrae muscles in your upper eyelids tighten and lift. When your upper eyelids lift themselves, you look younger. Additionally, your upper field of vision improves drastically.

Who Is This Right For

To determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you, it is imperative that you attend an initial evaluation. According to the FDA, it is safe and effective for most fairly healthy people who are concerned about upper eyelid sagging. However, we need to evaluate your concerns and discuss your health before we can make a final determination regarding your candidacy.

For example, we need to know about any immune system disorders you may have that cause your eyes or mouth to become dry. We also need to confirm that you do not currently suffer from untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. As another example, we need to verify that you do not suffer from uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension, heart disease, or periods of feeling faint in the absence of physical activity.
