Grit in eye after Botox?

Dry eyes can sometimes occur with Botox administration. This can last for a little while. Please see an optician and go back to your physician who should be able to prescribe you with hypermellose eye drops to prevent corneal abrasions.

It sounds like you are experiencing a symptom of dry eye, what we in ophthalmology refer to as "foreign body sensation." It may have been a preexisting condition prior to your Botox injection, but perhaps you became more aware of the sensation afterward. I would try artificial tears but also follow up with an ophthalmologist for full evaluation. 

Thanks for your question. Experiencing dry eyes or the feeling that there is dirt or “grit” in your eyes can be a side effect of BOTOX®. In many cases, using a lubricating eye drop to help mimic your natural tears can help to alleviate this feeling. I would suggest talking to your plastic surgeon or eye doctor for a more individualized evaluation of what may be going on.

Thank you for your
questions. It has been shown that Botox can cause “dry eye” syndrome, especially
when injected into the crow’s feet area.       One
of the symptoms is the sensation of a foreign object, or grit, is in the eye. I
recommend seeing an ophthalmologist for an evaluation and a treat plan. Best of
Luck! 

Botox has been repeatidly shown to be able to cause "dry eye" syndrome, particularly when injected laterally in the Crow's feet area. One of the dry eye symptoms is the sensation that a foreign object (grit) is in the eye. See an ophthalmologist for guidance on what to do to prevent permanent damage to your eyes.

Hi ThereThank you for your question.I know this sounds a simple thing but it may well be an eyelash that has just turned inwards. This happens sometimes.Certainly if there is any affect on vision, pain redness or discomfort with light you must see your GP immediately.Kind RegardsDr Dinesh MainiZenith Cosmetic Clinics

Hi. Botox works to relax the muscles and not allow them to makes wrinkles. The feeling you have must likely is not related to the Botox. Check with your doctor.
