Filler itself should not cause muscles to spasm. Botox could cause changes in the muscles surrounding the injections.  I suggest seeing an oculopastic surgeon if you are having eye concerns after fillers.  In general, if fillers were injected appropriately and with cannulas (which limit complications) there should be little issues due to the filler itself.  This may be unrelated to your filler injetions and should be evaluated by an eye doctor.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This far out, Restylane shouldn't be causing any eye problems. I don't think redness is from Restylane. I think you should see an Ophthalmologist to get a good eye exam.
