Dry sore eyes after Botox? Two days ago I got botox on my forehead and my crows feet areas.
A patient Staff asked 8 years ago Yesterday I was finding it hard to open my eye and today my right eye feel very dry, tears are emerging every now and then and I keep blinking. Overall it feels ‘heavy’.My appearance seems fine, no drooping of eyelids so far. The botox has worked already on my crows feet and 11 area — all lines are gone.Will this last? I can’t carry on like this for the next 3 months. I might have to take work off tomorrow as the blinking is so bad (I’m a teacher so this is a massive inconvenience).

Hi and thank you for your question! While the dry eye can be an unrelated process, it can also be related to the Botox treatment. I recommend doing a follow up with your doctor. If this is indeed a side effect of botox, it will be temporary and wear off and in the meanwhile, you might need to use eye drops to help with dryness. I hope it helps and good luck!
