Light sensitivity & occasional double vision after Botox?

June 16, 2022
Asked By:paleprincess38 in Boston, MA

I’ve had Botox & dysport about 5 times now, on my forehead & around my eyes for laugh lines. I’m only 25 so I do about 30 units total. I always seem to get light sensitive & occasional double vision when I first open my eyes in the morning or go from a dark to light room. Once my eyes adjust it goes away.. is this normal or is my injector doing something wrong?
