How often can I reapply Upneeq eye drops for optimal results?

Oct 5, 2022

I would like to use Upneeq when I am out and about. I understand that results from this product typically last about 6-8 hours. On longer days Is it okay to reapply drops right after the 8 hour mark is over or should I consider a longer waiting period?

Upneeq should not lead to worsening vision. It is recommended that when wearing contacts, you take the contacts out prior to using Upneeq and waiting 15 minutes after applying Upneeq to put them back in. It is important to not let the tip of the vial touch your eye or any other surface, for...
