Agree with the responses above. Also, you may be experiencing a variation of a type of migraine headache. This symptom is possibly being alleviated by your Botox treatments. You may want to consider consulting a neurologist when you have these symptoms to rule out other possible causes including migraines.
I have heard this from some of my patients and the only explaination I have is that the eye muscles are used to compensate for light (that is why we squint in the bright light). If you are using botox around the eyes or even for the brows or glabella (11 lines) you may be altering how your body "squints" to bright light and altering how much light gets into your eyes. I suggest you go see an expert for treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.
Botox should not cause light sensitivity. It can occasionally cause headaches which can result in light sensitivity. As well, Botox can prevent you squinting which can mean that more light gets in, but this prevention is good and just means you should be wearing sunglasses.
Yes Botox can lead to dry eyes and light sensitivity. The affect of the Botox to relax the muscles that cause the wrinkles around the eyes also causes the eyelids not to close as well which can lead to exacerbated dryness and increased light sensitivity. I would suggest trying artificial tears which you can get at the store to help your eyes feel more comfortable and I think your symptoms will improve.

I have been using Botox and the other neuro-modulators to reduce unwanted lines and wrinkles for almost 30 years. Botox works by weakening muscles, so proximity of placement is key. Different injectors may use different concentrations and placement for varying results....
