Botox Injections - Ophthalmic Medical and Cosmetic Uses

For many years Botox, otherwise known as Botulinum Toxin (BTX), has been used for various cosmetic purposes. The most common area that Botox injections are used is in the face.  Along with being a beauty treatment to diminish lines & wrinkles, Botox has also helped many individuals with medical conditions.  

The most common Ophthalmic medical treatments for Botox are for various eyelid spasms and eye muscle movement disorders. When Botox is injected into the eyelid for spasms, it can help limit over-action of the blinking movement. When Botox is injected into eyelid muscles, it can help reduce the eye muscle movements in eyelid muscle disorders such as strabismus, which can help align the eyes.  Botox injections can also be used to help some patients who suffer from migraines, as well as eyelid retraction that is associated with thyroid eye disease.

The cosmetic benefits of Botox injections help to relax the muscles of the face. It works great for lines between eyebrows, "crows feet" or "smile lines" around the eyes, and deep forehead lines caused by raising eyebrows.
