Botox for lazy eye - any ideas to bring this back to normal? (Photo)

The effects of Botox are temporary. Your treatment is in full effect after two weeks and will fade gradually over three to four months. For treatment of a lazy eye visit with your eye care specialist.

The effect of Botox will go away within 3-5 months and before considering next step try to consult an oculoplastic surgeon about your eye condition. Good luck.

In general Botox is FDA approved for three indications, forehead, glabella (11 lines), lateral orbital (crows feet). Botox is typically not used to treat ptosis or "lazy eyelid" In general, ptosis is corrected with tightening the tendon and muscle complex (levator muscle advancement). This elevates the eyelid which in turn decreases the eye brow elevation that is compensating for the low eyelid position. In general, patients typically wait for the Botox effects to wear off and then reassess your natural eyelid position and eyebrow position and have a consultation regarding correction of eye lid ptosis.
