I got 150units of hialuronidase diluted in 3ml saline in nasal folds & marionette lines for disolving 1ml of HA. It caused pain & redness in my skin and itching in my eyes, getting dried and red. After a few days I got eczema and after 2 months my eyes still sting and I have a grey zone in each sclera, next to the lacrimal, that I didn't have before. The ophtalmologist said that my sclera in that area is thinner. Could hialuronidase injections have caused scleral thinning or colouring it? Thanks
