If Botox Drips into Your Eye After an Injection Could It Freeze the Eye Muscles?

This is a good question. The Botox should not absorb through the conjunctiva of the eye and must be injected in proximity of the nerve and muscle interface to produce the paralytic effect.

That liquid contains a minute amount of BOTOX.  It is very poorly absorbed if at all through the conjunctiva and cornea.  As near as we know, it has absolutely no effect.  The biggest tragedy is that each drop probably cost ten bucks!
