Will using Upneeq regularly eventually lead to worsening vision? I have worn glasses and contacts all my life and recently started Upneeq. I am wondering if using this product will impact my vision or possibly contribute to making it worse?

Answer: No, Upneeq should not lead to worsening vision.
Yes, it is safe to re-apply drops after 8 hours, but is important to use a different vial if doing so, due to the risk of contamination. Upneeq is at its peak at 2 hours.
Upneeq works by stimulating a small muscle in your upper eyelid and usually provides ~ 2mm of lift. People with aponeurotic ptosis can effectively use upneeq. Depending on the degree of ptosis and how much you respond to upneeq, it may or may not be enough. Hope this helps!
