Real life patient stories
“I was excited to try these drops since I have had 1 eyelid that has always been lower than the other, making me look like I had a smaller eye. Within 15 minutes of using the drops, my lid lifted. I was able to see better, but more importantly my eyes were much more symmetrical which really boosted my confidence.”
