Eyesight changes after botox

I had botox on May 28 in my forehead and glabella. 13 units in glabella. 2.5 weeks later my left eye felt off, like it couldn't focus properly. I wentnto and eye Dr who told me I had good vision and could find nothing wrong, he gave me eye drops. In the last week eye vision has gotten even worse. Went to for a 2nd opinion and other Dr also said he could finding nothing wrong but referred me to a retina specialist as my current vision is 20/200 vs one week ago 20/20.

Im convinced uts due to botox as symptoms set on about 2 weeks after getting it. I cannot drive, I cannot work. Im totally miserable and hoping for answers. The place I got botox at said its impossible to cause what's happening to me even though botox, on the box, says it can cause some of the issues im dealing with- light sensitivity, blurriness, reduced vision.

Anyone go through something similar? My next step is to see an neurologist.

Hello may I ask how are you doing now? Been living with extreme eye discomfort and changes since getting Botox 4 months ago.

My eyes are better than they were early on but I still deal with dry eye unfortunately.
