How Upneeq works
Upneeq opens eyes by targeting the muscles of the upper eyelid, and causing them to contract. This contraction moves the eyelid upward, opening the eye wider. When more of the iris and white of the eye are visible, eyes often appear bigger, with an improved field of vision.
Just one drop in each affected eye, once daily, gets visible results in as fast as 5 minutes, and can last up to 8 hours.
