I have had botox injuctions all over my forehead, and between my eyebrows once a year for five years. I now have dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration and optic nerve damage as just diagnosed by an opthalmolgist. I am wondering if Botox injections in my forehead could have caused my eye problems? I am healthy othewise, and have not taken meds to cause those problems, nor smoked, etc.
