Introduction:
Upneeq is a once-daily prescription eye drop containing oxymetazoline hydrochloride (0.1%) used to temporarily lift low-lying upper eyelids
Visine is a popular brand of over-the-counter eye drops used to temporarily relieve minor eye redness and irritation
Explanation:
Upneeq - lifts the eye by specifically targeting and contracting Müller's muscle, the involuntary muscle responsible for raising your upper eyelid
(Average upper eyelid lift with Upneeq in clinical studies was 1 mm)
Visine - lifts the eyelid because its active chemical accidentally stimulates and tightens Müller's muscle, an involuntary muscle in the upper lid that shares the same receptors as your blood vessels.
Duration:
Upneeq usually lasts for 8-9 hours
Visine typically last for 1-2 hours
Conclusion:
While Upneeq lasts for 4 times longer than Visine, it's still an amazing alternative for
1. People outside US
2. Broke people
3. OTC option
