I've had my eye hollows filled with Restylane about a week ago. On the day of the procedure, the doctor recommended to massage it. I may have put too much pressure on one eye, it is now blurrier than the other. I have had it checked with an oculoplastic surgeon, he says the muscles are fine and my retina is fine nothing has been affected. What are the symptoms of filler migrating inside to the eyes? If so what is my ultimate solution? Panicking that I may have caused permanent vision damage.

Answer: Can Restylane filler migration cause eye blurriness? Thank you for sharing your experience and I am sorry to hear of your filler-related issues. One of the concerns about injections around the eyes is an inadvertant arterial injection that can cause eyesight difficulties. This is an exceedingly rare complication, but serious in that it can cause blindness. It was wise to be examined by an oculoplastic surgeon to ensure your eye health. Assuming no filler went into your eye it will soften become incorporated into your tissues as it absorbs water. If you feel any of the filler still present you can also consider dissolving the material with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps.
