Botox can, and for some does, cause dry, bloodshot eyes. The FDA agrees. Doctors please don't delete this; don't be defensive.

I've seen a few posts regarding this topic; all summarily dismissed with some irresponsible answers. From: In 20 years I've never seen it To: The procedure must've made you anxious I had the same issue (red eyes). After 2 weeks I looked it up. The FDA approval of Botox states that dry, red, or watery eyes are a side effect. Maybe a direct reaction/allergy to the drug, maybe the result of the changes it makes to the general area; both? Please don't delete this. Just be thoughtful.
