Dear doctors, after my botox around the eyes disaster, I am unable to close my eyes fully when I sleep. This causes my eyes to feel unrefreshed even after a good night's sleep. My eyes dry out when I wake up. I have seen a eye specialist and he says botox makes my lower eyelid droop, therefore I am unable to blink or close my eyes properly. I feel that my upper eyelid is unable to reach my lower eyelid when I close my eyes. The muscles are unable to tighten. Can I check will this go away?
