Answer: Botox and Blindness Botox which is considered an neuromodulator has never been associated with blindness. Botox is completely different than dermal fillers. In the case of dermal fillers, the blindness which is extremely rare was caused by injected the heavy molecule into the artery inadvertently which cause a blockage to the eye. Botox is not a heavy molecule so it cannot block the artery.
