Crawford recalled that when she was on camera at the time, she\u2019d notice her \u201ceyes just weren\u2019t quite as perky as they once were.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford revealed it took eight years until she learned that Uqneeq eye drops could help her blepharoptosis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout two years ago, dermatologist told me about Upneeq as something that could help your eyes just look a little bit more wide open and awake. So I tried it,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n

Crawford said she now uses the eye drops everyday usually around 9:30 AM.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s [one of] those little things we can do to feel like the best version of ourselves,\u201d she told People. \u201cAnd, when women feel more confident, they present themselves in the world in a more confident way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford (seen above at the Tom Ford Fall 2016 fashion show) said it wasn\u2019t until two years ago that her dermatologist told her about Upneeq eye drops to help treat her condition. FilmMagic<\/p>\n

The model (seen above in New York in 2016) said she uses the eye drops every morning. FilmMagic<\/p>\n

Blepharoptosis usually happens when the levator muscle \u2014 the muscle that lifts your eyelid\u00a0\u2014 doesn\u2019t work properly, according to the Cleveland Clinic.<\/a><\/p>\n

The condition can limit vision or block it completely, depending on how much the eyelid droops. Treatment options include eye drops or surgery.<\/p>\n

Crawford confirmed her eye drops work in less than five minutes and\u00a0activate the levator muscle, which makes her eyes more visible for up to eight hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I love about Upneeq is it\u2019s not a big commitment,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re not going under the knife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford, who turned 60 in February, said while aging \u201chas its challenges,\u201d she\u2019s embracing this new decade of her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I\u2019m not trying to be 20 or 25. I think that\u2019s my biggest change in how I approach beauty,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to feel like the best version of me,\u201d Crawford continued. \u201cI don\u2019t want to look tired. I don\u2019t want to look like I\u2019m trying too hard.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cindy Crawford revealed she has blepharoptosis, a health condition that causes droopy eyelids.
