I had Botox for frown lines and have sharp or shooting eye pain. Is this threatening? Will it go away?

Asked By:An angel in Laredo, TX

I got Botox for frown lines 11 days ago. Injections were given above eyebrows and in-between eyebrows, more on right side to level eyebrows. Since day 4 I felt eye discomfort as if something in my eye. I am at day 11, I have some slight eye pain on and off and I have felt a shooting or sharp pain for a second around 4 different times. Could this be threatening to my eye sight? Will this go away? Please advise.
