I just realized that the Blurred vision and extreme light sensitivity, burning and dryness occurred shortly after a botox injection to raise droopy eyelids. I also have a feeling of heaviness above my eyes and not being able to fully open them. What can I do?

It may be that some Botox got into the surface of your eye. This can cause stinging and blurred vision. You should report this to the Dr who injected you and immediately wash the eye with saline. The lasting effects may take weeks to months to clear, it really depends on how much Botox got into the wrong spot in the first instance. You seek the opinion of a specialist eye surgeon.
