Dry sore eyes after Botox? Two days ago I got botox on my forehead and my crows feet areas.

Hi and thank you for your question! While the dry eye can be an unrelated process, it can also be related to the Botox treatment. I recommend doing a follow up with your doctor. If this is indeed a side effect of botox, it will be temporary and wear off and in the meanwhile, you might need to use eye drops to help with dryness. I hope it helps and good luck! 

Your Botox treatment may be impacting your ability to close your eyes completely. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. If you're unhappy with your final results, Botox results can be softened with venus legacy and thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately, dry eyes are known, but uncommon, adverse effects of neuromodulators, such as Botox.   This is due to the inability to blink and close fluidly, the reduction of tear production, or the combination of both as a result of Botox's inhibition of neurotransmitters to muscles and lacrimal glands, respectively. Until the effects of Botox wear off, you may want to try artificial tears four times a day or more often as needed. If you end up needing artificial tears more than four times a day, you might want to use ones with no preservatives or consider trying thicker ones such as gel drop. For more severe dry eyes, I also recommend lubricating ointment. Celluvisc gel and Refresh PM are preservative-free.
