when i'm due for botox (about every 4 months) my eyes become light sensitive. i know it sounds strange. is there any reason for this?
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.
