Answer: Side Effects From Too Much Botox
These side effects would ordinarily be very unusual in the typical cosmetic use of Botox, unless your doctor gave you too much Botox. I would recommend seeing a fellow-trained ophthalmologic plastic surgeon (i.e. an ophthalmologist with extra training in plastic surgery of the eye area) who may be able to help you with your vision problems.

Answer: Excessive eye issues after Botox
These are not normal problems with Botox Cosmetic and unfortunately it's really hard to give you an answer for how long any of these can or will last. Even with a bit of edema after Botox, which does happen but is uncommon, these side effects seem to be quite excessive. I sincerely hope you went to a well-qualified physician and did receive the product made by Allergan. I would suggest you find out exactly where the injections were done, and how much Botox was injected at each site, and then see an oculoplastic surgeon with extensive experience for an evaluation.
