We're excited to announce a new prescription eye drop called UPNEEQ! This drop can be prescribed to individuals to help lift droopy lids caused by weakened muscles. This eye drop works within 5 minutes and lasts from 6-8 hours. Here are two sets of photos from actual patients of ours that have benefited from the eye drop.

The top photos show the Before relaxed position of the eyelids. For both of these individuals, their right eye (on the left side of the photos) has a droopier upper lid. Following up 5 minutes after instillation of one drop of UPNEEQ in the right eye, the eye is noticeably open wider and appears whiter. Another eye drop was then instilled in the other eye to balance out the appearance of both eyes. The end result is in the bottom photo.

If you are interested in trying this new eye drop, call our office today and request an evaluation and appointment to try UPNEEQ!

Happy National Doctor's Day! Visit our website for more information on all of our wonderful doctors at EyeCare 20/20! www.eyecare2020.org
