Watery Eye a Side Effect of Botox?

Hello. This may be due to dryness in your eyes from incomplete eyelid closure or temporary weakening of the pump mechanism which helps move tears through the tear duct and into the nose. Even though it sounds counter-intuitive, I would recommend trying preservative-free artificial tear eye drops several times a day to see if this helps. Even if the drops dont help, the tearing should resolve as the botox wears off.

Hello and sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing. It is difficult to give you advice without performing an exam and knowing more about your treatment. I would recommend following up with your provider, as they will be able to give you advice on the issue. They will refer you to a board certified opthamologist if necessary. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

If you had Botox injected in the inner corner of your eye this can happen, as the duct responsible for draining your tears is in this area.  Side effects related to Botox are typically temporary so this should resolve, but it is always good to notify the Ophthomologist who treated you and let them know. Good luck.
