Why Do I Have a Bloodshot Eye and Pain in Eye 3 Days After Botox?

This is not a typical side effect of Botox, and likely a coincidence. I would recommend following up with your eye doctor, as they will be able to provide you with advice on the issue. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

This is most likely not do to the Botox toxin itself.  However, if the Botox affects the muscles that close the eyes, the eyes can get dry and secondarily red and irritated.  This side affect can be minimized by using small amounts of botox around the eyes.  It is less likely to occur when just used in the glabella or forehead.  In either respect, I think your red eye should resolve in a timely manner.

This doesn't sound like a Botox side effect, however be in touch with your provider and give them the information so they're informed of what's happening, in case you return for further treatment.

Having said that, I have been doing treatment with botulinum toxin since 1988. I have never seen BOTOX cause ocular inflammation.  So I would say that the ocular inflammation is coincidental.  However, should you be treated again in the future and develop the same inflammation, we would say that the ocular inflammation is a type of idosyncratic reaction that you develop.  That does not mean that the BOTOX causes the inflammation.  It could be that the stress of the treatment is your trigger.  

It is unlikely that Botox is the reason for your eye symptoms.  Most likely it is coincidental.  I would followup with your eye doctor for continued care.

It is unlikely that the Botox injections and your eye irritation are related other than by happening around the same time.

There are no reports of ocular inflammation after Bo-tox.  If your eye physician gave you a steroid to decrease the inflammation you may need have some cells inside the eye called iritis.  Our ophthalmologist will know how to treat this.  I also sounds to me that this is coincidental.

I have been injecting Botox for nearly 20 years and have not seen this type of reaction. The only thing I could possibly think is that maybe you were given some kind of topical numbing cream and perhaps you got some of that in your eye? I could see this potentially happening, but the actual Botox injection wouldn't have caused this.
