Can Injecting Botox Below the Eyes Cause Blindness?

Can Injecting Botox Below the Eyes Cause Blindness?

A: Botox is a safe treatment

In knowledgeable hands, Botox has proven to be an extremely safe treatment. The use of Botox for cosmetic reasons was discovered by an ophthaomologist. At that time Botox was being used in the eye area to help balance the eye muscles to correct  strabismus. So the safe use of Botox in the eye region has a very long history.

Adverse Effects of Expired Botox

I believe I received botox that had expired 5 months ago. I am having pain & spasms above my left eye. What are the risks of using expired diluted botox?

A: Botox safety

Most drugs are safe for considerable time after expiration and Botox is no exception. Pain is not a likely effect, so you should consult a doctor. Expiration may reduce potency but should not cause harm.
