Botox does not cause red eyes, its best your follow up with your medical provider or an Ophathamologist to further assist you

Richard Parfitt, MD · Answer

If your are talking about "blood shot" eyes, it is possible you are not closing your eyes completely during sleep, causing the surface of the eye to dry out.  People often are not aware they do not close their eyes fully when they sleep. If you are one of these people, Botox injections may have exacerbated this condition by rexlaxing muscles needed to close the eyes. It is very important that you return to the clinic where you had the injections immediately.

Red Eyes after Botox is not a typical side effect from treatment.  I can not think of any way that this can happen.  I would also need to know more information such as are your eyes dry?  Have you been applying eye drops?  Any difficulty with vision?  If the red eyes continue I would recommend seeing an opthamologist or eye doctor for evaluation.  I highly doubt it is from the botox.

Botox should not cause red eyes. See an ophthalmologist for an eye exam to check why your eyes are red.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Red eyes are not a typical side effect of Botox. Is it general redness around the eye, or actual redness of the eye? I would suggest seeing an Ophthalmologist and consulting with you plastic surgeon who performed the injections.

It would be helpful to have a photo in order to best help you.  Is the redness in the eye itself or in the skin around the eye?  Are you able to close your eyes normally?  Is there any tearing or feeling of a foreign body sensation/grittiness?  This is not a common side effect of BOTOX therefore I need more information to help you.
