I had Botox done around last month, and I experienced drooping in one eye. I used drops to deal with the drooping, and somehow, my eye got infected. Does the infection have anything to do with Botox or the eye drops?
Answer: Eye infection after Botox is very rare It is very rare to have an infection from a Botox injection. Also, it would typically happen at the injection site and not the eye itself. It appears that the drops may be the source and Botox is only indirectly involved as you had to use the eyedrops after getting Botox treatment. I would suggest stopping the eyedrops and seeing your physician to have your eye examined to make sure you are using the correct treatment to resolve your infection.

Answer: May be related, but indirectly From your description, it sounds like the botox created a situation where your dry eye required drops. The drops may be contaminated, or perhaps you did not use perfect non-sterile technique to apply drops. I would recommend getting rid of the old drops, and being meticulous about keeping everything out of the eye, and using sterile tehnique.
