Yes I would consider getting it done it if was proven to be safe.


Answer:
The wrinkle busting powers of botox were discovered by the optician who used it first.

It was initially used to paralyse the overactive muscle that causes a squint. The effect is only temporary so is used to see if surgery is an option (because in some people if you straighten the squinting eye you can get double vision). If the botox shows there’s no double vision then the permanent treatment will be done- surgery.

It was noticed when the botox was applied to the eye muscles wrinkles around the eye became less noticeable and botox as most people know it became commonly used.

The answer is yes you can have botox to straighten a squint but MUST be done by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) and will only be done to check if you can have surgery. It won’t be done instead of surgery.

If you want your squint straightened book an appointment with an ophthalmologist, your optician can arrange this for you.
