Blurry vision after Botox and filler combination

Question

I had filler and Botox between my eyebrow and on my eyebrow for frowning and for definition. I first got some Botox, and filler 10 minutes after. I was scared, I do not know whether it was psychological or my vision got blurred during the procedure. The day after the procedure, my vision become worse, the vision is not only blurred but hard to focus, Is it possible that my vision is affected by filler? There is no bruise tho.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues after your filler and Botox treatment.  You need to report the blurry vision symptoms to your provider right away and arrange for an evaluation.  This is not a typical or expected response.

Hi @Reserved8868. I recommend that you contact your injector immediately. Blurred vision is always quite concerning.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

This is very concerning to hear. 
Contact your injector ASAP to let them know your concerns, and also see an ophthalmologist for a detailed examination.

Blindness usually occurs just a few seconds after a dermal filler injection. There have been reports of symptoms developing within a few hours of treatment and rarely occurring up to 24 hours later. Someone is unlikely to develop symptoms more than 24 hours after the filler injections. Technically, you can inject filler in the 11's, but we do not recommend it. Injecting filler in this area has a high risk for vision complications. Safety is a priority when it comes to injectables.
