Dry Eyes and Headaches After Botox?

I am sure that the Ophtalmologist who gave you the Laser treatment is aware of your dry eyes and is treating you and, most likely has ruled out Sjogren'syndrome with a blood test. That said, there should be no problem with Botox injections for treatment of the forehead wrinkles. A brow or an upper eyelid droop, even though cosmetically undesirable, would not worsen the dryness of your eyes. Botox does not cause true headaches. Some discomfort may... more

Botox would not be considered to risk more headaches in general, although some patients may get a headache, this is rare. Drooping would not be a problem for the dry eyes unless it were the lower eyelid that would droop. This might occur if the Botox were injected very low on the Crow’s foot area, or right under eye.

No problem. Botox into the crows feet and the forehead will not effect your dryness of the eyes. You are most likely already on some kind of eye drops like Restasis. Even if the eyebrow drops a little it should not effect your dry eyes. Regards

I agree with Dr. Persky, that Botox even for crows feet should not affect the tear production or drainage of the eyes.  The few cases of headaches associated with Botox that I have observed seem to resolve within a day or two. Good luck.

Hi Maggie, Laser surgery and Botox injections are very different. You should not have any worries about dry eyes after treatment of your crow's feet. Botox injections have been used successfully for the treatment of migraine headaches, although a very small percentage of Botox patients will complain of mild headache after their injections. Good luck and be well in beautiful Ireland. Dr. P
