BOTOX was originally developed as a treatment for Strabismus which is the more technical term for lay eye. Generally muscle surgery to align the eyes is most commonly used.

Fraxel and Botox can be done together. In fact, they are a very nice combination therapy.
Certainly. Botulinum Toxin can be used and is an excellent treatment for facial spasms especially of the eye (blepharospasm) one of the indications. However, this can result in undesireable facial laxity. This must be discussed at consultation.
