Answer: Botox Injections
No one likes pain and needles. However, Botox injections a virtually pain free and small. They can be tolerated by most everyone. I always have patient's ice the areas of injection to help with any kind of discomfort or anxiety.

Answer: Botox vs. surgery for strabismus
The nice thing about Botox is it is minimally invasive and reversible with time. If you doctor thinks it will work, it is worth trying. The injection will be a very small volume with a tiny needle. You will likely have ample topical anesthetic given as well. Most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they have during the procedure.
