I have been receiving Botox injections every 3 months to my face ,neck and shoulders. It is for migraines and damage to the facial nerve from a traumatic neuroma. I am having an increase in memory loss and now visual changes. Any other treatments work better and have less side effects? Any suggestions. Would be greatly treated.

Answer: Botox effect on vision Routine use of Botox Cosmetic to improve one's appearance generally does not affect long-term vision. The most likely method that Botox might affect vision is when it weakens the upper eyelid muscle causing it to droop and block vision. This vision affect is temporary until the Botox wears off, and can be treated in the interim with eye drops. Lastly, there is no known affect with cosmetic Botox injection to affect memory.If there is any concern, then you should always speak with your plastic surgeon regarding Botox.Best,Dr. Chaboki

Answer: Botox affect memory or vision? I have never seen these side effects written or discussed at meetings. I would discuss with your doctor and make sure you see an ophthalmologist about this.
