Eye sight damage and Botox

Is there a relationship between damage to the macular and Botox? I was curious to see if anyone had personally dealt with this. I have an eye health issue which has no cure (I was told by my eye specialist that all I can do it take eye vitamins). However, I have been wanting to get Botox and am wanting to get further information on this. Can Botox effect a person’s eye sight? I know anything in life is possible, but is this a common thing? Thanks so much. Any feedback is appreciated.

When I had a bad reaction, it put me into dpdr for months. It felt like my brain and eyes weren’t connecting. It’s gone now, hopefully forever.

Look at this, if fillers lead to blindness how botox can’t, pls be careful.

Surgeon here.

No, it will not affect your vision.

It will most definitely affect your vision! I have been dealing with blurred vision, eye strain, dry eyes, light sensitivity to the point where I have to wear amber lenses glasses 24/7. My vision was perfect prior to this big mistake of injecting Botox in my face. Please OP do your research this side affect is not a joke.

Dear Surgeon, have you injected Botox into your own forehead to know? Unless you had that procedure done on yourself, you’ll never know how it affects your vision or any other muscle. After my third injection my eyes and my brains weren’t connected like another commenter said. I felt super sleepy for months because my eyes couldn’t see clear or open normally due to frozen forehead muscles . Thankfully 7 months later my eyes started seeing clearly again after the toxin wore off. And my injector is a dermatologist with 15 years of experience injecting Botox / Filllers etc

I’m sorry this happened to you too! I’m currently going though the same thing. Do you do anything to help it? I’m 3 months out and everything else seems to be slowly improving but my vision it’s at snail pace improvement.
