What is acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) and how can it affect you? Are low-lying eyelids making your eyes look a little tired? You may have acquired ptosis.

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 who have acquired ptosis may not even be aware of it

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*

*Estimate of prevalence was calculated using both U.S. Census data and a published study by Sridharan et al. (1995). The Sridharan study observed a prevalence rate of 11.5% (n=400), which was then applied to the US Census’ projected 2020 population of Americans aged 50+ years.

Can you recognize acquired ptosis (low-lying lids)?

Acquired ptosis can lead to vision impairment

Low-lying eyelid(s) can affect eyesight by not only blocking your vision, but also by reducing field of vision, which may interfere with day-to-day functions such as:
- Reading
- Driving
- Computer use
- Looking up without the need to tilt your head back

What warnings and precautions are associated with Upneeq?

Upneeq is a type of medication that may affect your blood pressure. If you have heart disease, uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, or feel faint at rest or when quickly standing up, you should call your doctor if your symptoms get worse.
Patients with reduced blood flow to the brain or heart, or patients who experience eye or mouth dryness due to an immune system disorder (Sjögren’s syndrome), should use care when taking Upneeq. Call your doctor immediately if you feel your symptoms may be getting worse.
Upneeq may increase the risk of eye pressure due to fluid buildup (angle-closure glaucoma) in patients with untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. Call your doctor immediately if you feel increased pressure in your eye after using Upneeq.
Do not let the tip of the Upneeq vial touch your eye or any other surface. This can help prevent eye injury or contamination. Each Upneeq vial is for one-time use and should be discarded after being used.
