Can Botox Cause Vision Loss?

 

Botox is a very powerful and effective medication that helps muscles relax once it is absorbed by them. If Botox is placed around muscles that control the position of the eyelid, some drooping as possible. However, Botox will not affect visual perception. Discuss with your doctor other more likely causes for the decrease in your vision

It sounds like your Botox injections were unremarkable when they were done. Starting to lose vision one month later because of an early cataract is most likely completely unrelated and would have started to happen whether you had Botox or not. In general, doopy eyelids and double vision are the potential side effects that we worry about most. Make sure your ophthalmologist and your Botox physician have communicated as it is always good to keep everyone in the loop.
