Diplopia associated with the cosmetic use of botulinum toxin a for facial rejuvenation

Petros Aristodemou et al. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2006 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

We report three cases in which cosmetic injections of botulinum toxin A around the eye caused diplopia. Diplopia was due to inferior oblique paresis, which was bilateral in two cases. We suggest that consent for periocular botulinum toxin procedures should include a warning about diplopia.
