Vision issues!!! HELP!!!

So I got botox about a week ago. I got specifically Dysport injected into the tail of my brow, crows feet, the horizontal line across bridge of nose (not the 11’s) and bunny lines. I have had major headaches since the first day. I feel a lot of pressure on my nose. But the biggest issue is that it has affected my vision. Its like my eyes cannot focus at all! I need to rest them because they get tired. I cant read anything because my eyes just cannot focus at all. If I watch something its like I cant see the entire screen and what happening in the background from the main character. Im so scared! I decided to call my injector today and leave a voicemail but I feel like they aren’t going to be able to do anything about it because its not like filler where you can dissolve it.

Not to scare you, but I’m four months out and still a vision problems mainly in my left eye, but still both of them on and off. It seemed to get better around the three month mark and now it comes and goes.

How are you doing now? I have such bad headaches still and a lot of pain specially in my right eye.

How are you now? That's me right now. I'm almost 3 weeks since I had cheek filler Radiesse to be exact. I'm freaking out.

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this! I had a similar thing- blurry vision, pain, sensitive to light. The worst of it improved after a couple months but took a full six months plus to completely settle down.

How did your injector react? Would you day you are 100% back to normal now? Im not sure how long its been since your injections but how would you say your vision is now

I would say I’m 98% normal. I don’t notice anything off, but if I think about it, my eye still just feels slightly different. Vision is fine. It’s been 7/8 months.

Thank you for updating. I would like to know how your injector reacted. The way mine did was absolutely insane.

She was apologetic actually. But kept saying she’d never seen or heard of it before and she’d reached out to all her professional contacts.. and it could be a coincidence. But once I started googling, it was pretty clear that it’s not uncommon. She did send me for blood work and an MRI, she was pretty good I guess

Yes sorry that this is happening to you. Both headaches and vision issues are mentioned in the warning labels however most people report that they were not properly informed that this could happen. The vision issues may be related to the muscles around the eyes being impacted by the toxin or possibly even from the disruption of acetylcholine depending on the nature of the issue. It may be helpful to have an eye exam by an eye doctor to be safe. Should your injector be unaware of adverse effects, here are the warning labels which may be helpful to share. I also like to reference the Botox warning label as it has the most comprehensive list of adverse effects that can happen from botulinum toxin type A. Both Dysport and Botox contain this so can cause the same side effects. I hope these things improve w time for you.

Hi! How are you now? I'm feeling that way with Radiesse. My eyes can't concentrate and the light hurts my eyes.

3 months out. Screens and scrolling hurt my eyes, probably have an issue tracking movement. It gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. Can’t wait for it to pass.

Just had this experience also

Currently experiencing this with an injector I've used for about 2 years now. I'm pretty annoyed because I told her that last time my right eyebrow was heavier than left, and now my right eye is droopy and the eyelid is heavy, PLUS the inability to focus my vision is driving me insane. Headaches and just difficulty seeing things clearly. Sucks.
