Which eye drops are best for droopy eyelid due to Botox?

I agree that most of the time the appearance of a droopy eyelid is a result of treating the frontalis muscle (forehead) with Botox in someone who already has hooding of the eyelids.  You may be able to use more Botox on the depressors medially or give a brow lift laterally.

Otherwise, phenylephrine drops work well or iopidine drops.
