Botox will not effect your eye issues, if injected properly by someone experienced.  Most often I am using 10-20 units in the forehead, however, what was said below is correct.  It varies depending on the effect you are trying to get and whether or not you are trying to change the eye...

Allergan (makers of Botox) specifically recommend using unpreserved saline (0.9% NaCl) which was used during the clinical trials on Botox and how the FDA approved its use.

No Problem! As always with any medical procedure or treatment,  be sure of the credentials of your provider.
