Got day over Dysport injections yesterday over eyebrows and on crows feets. Woke up with very redirritated eyes this morning. I have had existing floaters, however, this morning they have become worse. Could Dysport cause this? Very concerned.

Answer: Floaters not from Dysport Floaters can be a normal and very common phenomenon due to floating debris or refractive changes in the vitreous fluid of the eye. They are very common in people aged 50 to 75. A sudden increase in floaters can be due to a mild and benign vitreous or choroidal detachment or a more serious detachment in one of the layers of the globe. They can also occur with inflammation or infection within the eye. Choroidal detachment can occur when the pressure in the eye is low, which happens as we age, or rarely when taking a medication such as Diamox, and one often sees flashes of light at the periphery of vision or even a loss of peripheral vision. There is no relationship that has ever been reported with any of the botulinum medications. Are you using Latisse?Any sudden increase in floaters warrants a visit to your opthamologist; if associated with flashes of light, decrease in central or peripheral vision, or pain, an urgent visit to an opthamologist is called for.
