Re: Botox and dry eye
Todd, the botox will cause your eye not to blink properly or often enough. Since you are noticing that your eye is getting dry, you would be smart to use preservative free eyedrops through the day and an eye ointment in that eye at night such as lacrilube or Moisture eyes PM. Letting your eye get too dry will cause you additional problems so do preventative measures with the drops and ointment at night. I'm glad that your twitch is gone. Be aware that some people don't get the full effect of the botox for 10 to 14 days. So, you may still have some changes in things.

Hi Todd, I've had beb/meige for six years. My opthalmologist (not the doc who injects botox) advised me to use a good preservative-free eye drop and a night gel every day for the rest of my life. We could get cornea problems if we don't - so she says. I adhere to her advice.
Re : Botox and dry eye --- todd Posted by June in Toronto ® (June Floyd,June in Toronto), May 17,2001,14:42 Top of Thread Archive I had my injections about 2 months ago and now, suddenly, I've developed "unsatisfactory tears" in my left eye only! These tears do not moisturize my eye at all - just a complete nuisance that's all as they roll down the face uncontrollably and cause blurred vision! I've had this before - usually just after botox - and in both eyes. Everybody, and each time we get the injections, it can be different.
Glad to hear your twitch has gone - keep posting.

Lacrilube is an over-the-counter product, Kathy. I get it from a local pharmacy.

thanks, june, i'll look into it. She really said that? it makes sense with all the dryness and scratchiness we have to endure after the injections. She said to use it every night, or just during that period?

Opthalmologist said to use the lacrilube 365 nights of the year and day-time drops 365 days of the year - of course its even more important to use them directly after the botox injections as the eyelids don't close 100% at that time - and that's when the most damage can happen. It gets tobe like brushing your teeth after a while - just a good, healthy habit!
