Hello everyone,
I’m an old follower of this site. Its been so long I struggled with Graves. I had total tiroidectomy years ago. But the GED was still there.
You all know its nit easy to handle how you dont look like yourself anymore.
After like 10 years I finally had surgery for my retracted eye lid. Thankfully it went well and now one of my eye looks “normal”. The other one has low eye lid. My doc said till that surgery (we need to wait) I can use Upneeq eye drop. Apparently it retracts the eyelid temporarily (like daily).

Anyone here had any experience with it?
That eye drop is in USA only, so I’ll need to get it from there, and I would love to hear that it works good before getting it.

Thank you in advance 🙂🙏🏻

Hello and welcome (back)! Sorry for the tardy reply – this forum is much quieter than our Facebook group. I’ve not heard of that med and had to look it up! But it looks like it is beneficial for people who need their upper lids to lift – whereas many TED patients have the opposite problem. (The upper eyelid already being retracted too much). If you move forward with this, please check back to let us know what you think!
