I got the shingles in Sept. of 2013 . I do not have residual pain, but have severe itchting along the nerve that runs from my eyebrow back to the crown of my head. I have seen numerous doctors, I ing. I have even tried acupuncture and nothing is stopping this excruciating itch. It does not subside or go into remission. I itch everyday! Needless to say this is taking an emotional toll and I can't sleep, in spite of prescriptions, topical lotions and creams. I don't know where to turn.

Botox can give a more open look to the eyes by relaxing the muscle (orbicularis oculi) around the eyes which causes it to close during smiling and squinting. When this muscle is treated with Botox, the eye will remain open during smiling and appear more "open".
It's unfortunate you had a bad experience with Botox injections. Assymetry that you are feeling is likely secondary to placement and dosage. I would followup with the injector and ask specifically about site of placement and the dosage. The effects should last 3 months depending on these factors.
