Botox has deep roots in ophthalmology. In the 1970s, ophthalmologists first pioneered its use to treat conditions such as strabismus (misaligned eyes) and blepharospasm (involuntary eyelid spasms). Later, physicians observed that patients treated with Botox around the eyes also experienced a reduction in facial lines and wrinkles. This discovery led to the cosmetic applications that are now widely recognized today.
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved medication that temporarily reduces muscle activity. In cosmetic use, it is most commonly administered to smooth dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet—that develop from repeated facial expressions over time.
As specialists in the anatomy and function of the eyes and surrounding structures, ophthalmologists are uniquely qualified to administer Botox with precision and safety in the delicate periocular region. Their expertise ensures not only effective cosmetic results but also careful attention to ocular health.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, Botox has therapeutic applications, including the treatment of chronic migraine headaches. By reducing muscle tension and interrupting pain signaling pathways, Botox can help decrease both the frequency and severity of headache episodes.
