Upneeq Eye Drops for Ptosis
Do your eyes look sleepy or do you feel that your eyelids look low?
If your eyes look “tired” or “sleepy”, you may have a condition called acquired blepharoptosis (also known as acquired ptosis or low-lying lids).
Acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) is a common medical condition that:
- Can develop later in life
- Affects adults of all ages, but occurs more often with increased age
- Usually occurs when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the upper eyelid to droop
- May be caused by other issues, such as cataract surgery, contact lens wear, or an underlying medical condition. It could also be a sign of a more serious medical condition.
- Millions of people over the age of 40 may have acquired ptosis
- But only 15% have been diagnosed, and even fewer have received any treatment
