I had Botox 4 weeks ago by a fully trained nurse . I had a top up 2 weeks ago , I felt my eye sight had changed where I was straining at distance, iv now got double vision in my right eye. I have had an eye test which was all clear no glasses needed. I'm having bloods and an eye appointment Monday . Can you advise please ?
Answer: Botox and Double Vision Thank you for question. What has probably happened is that the nurse who treated you injected to deep or too close to the intra-orbital muscles. This muscle is responsible for your eyeballs, so if the muscle on one side is affected by Botox, typically the lateral rectus muscle and the other side is not. Therefore, you will get unequal movement, which results in double vision. This should resolve in a few weeks, if not it can take 3 months to resolve when the Botox wears off. I recommend having a consultation with an ophthalmologist for evaluation. Best of Luck!

Answer: Double Vision after Botox Yes. If the Botox migrates or is not done at the right place, it could go to the ocular muscles. So if it paralysis the ocular muscles, you may have double vision. Usually if this has happened due to migration, it is a very small dose and gets corrected within few days or weeks but if Botox was done at a wrong place, it may take more time to get corrected. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon to review your case.

Answer: Botox and Double Vision Unfortunately, double vision is a rare, reported side effect of Botox injections. It was smart of you to first have your vision checked for glasses, as some people can recruit muscles to see more clearly. Now that you ruled this out by having your vision checked, your double vision likely occurred because Botox migrated into the muscles that control eye movements and eye muscle contractions. Fortunately, double vision as a side effect to Botox typically lasts only a few weeks. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly urge you to followup with a board certified ophthalmologist.

Answer: Blurred vision after Botox this is a known but rare side effect of Botox and should dissipate in a few days. Most likely it does not have anything to do with poor technique
