Xeomin Treatment
Hello and thank you for the question.
You shouldn't experience any ill-effects from having a drop of Xeomin fall onto your conjunctiva. If you're overly concerned, you may consider following up with your doctor 2 weeks post-treatment. In all likelihood you will be just fine.
Kindest Regards,

Xeomin for wrinkles dropped in eye
I have never heard of Botox Cosmetic, Dysport or Xeomin having caused a problem with the eye if some liquid dropped in the eye, and I would think that in the last 20 years of cosmetic botox, and more years with ophthalmologists treating strabismus ("lazy eye") by injecting the muscles of the eye (not eyelid) that there would have been vocal reports from patients, the company or warnings from the FDA, by now. Please do see an ophthalmologist for an evaluation to obtain reassurance.

There may be a tiny bit of conjunctival absorption but not much.
Please let this go. There is not harm from this. Yes a little Xeomin was wasted but it certainly is not going to cause any harm. Try to relax. Breath deeply.

Xeomin on the eye
There is no topical absorption of botulinum toxin that I am aware of so I don't think anything will happen. The quantities are so minute that even if there were some absorption, it is highly unlikely that you will notice anything. Botulinum toxin has been used for years by ophthalmologist to treat strabismus. In that procedure, it is injected through the outer lining of the eye into the eye muscles so it is not an unusual location for botulinum.
