This : This is not normal. You should go see an ophthalmologist (eye physician & surgeon) who can examine you and make sure your eye is okay.

Not normal: Get back to the doctor that injected you. He should be able to prescribe eye drops that should help. Call immediately!

No: Botox can cause unintended paralysis when it drifts into unwanted areas. This is not usually associated with pain. Botox wears off in 2-4 months and should have no long term effect.

Eye: It is a good idea to inform and follow up with the physician who performed the procedure to evaluate and treat any eye lid or eye problem you are experiencing.

Not normal: You may be experiencing some ptosis of the eyelid (drooping) from the Botox unintentionally migrating into the muscles of the eyelid. Usually, this will wear off in 6-8 weeks due to it being a more dilute effect. Talk to the doctor who did the procedure first. In time, the effects will wear off.

Not normal: Eyelid droop appears to have occurred. There are are eyedrops which can be prescribed to try to help alleviate the problem, the problem is not a permanent one and when the Botox wears off, it will go away. The eye drops can be given now though. See the doctor that injected you. You shouldn't have pain necessarily though.

Return to your MD!: Paralysis of the muscle that opens the eyelid is a rare but described complication of botox. It is very important that you return to your injector for an evaluation. In some situations, the eye can become overly dry and cause pain requiring the use of ophthalmic ointments. In any case your doctor should closely be monitoring you. The good news is that this complication always resolves!

Botox: Droopy lid is a risk of botox injections. It will wear off.

Ptosis after Botox: I assume you have ptosis. A therapy recommended to treat ptosis resulting from administration of botulinum toxins A and B is apraclonidine 0.5 % eye drops which is an α2-adrenergic agonist, which causes Müller muscles to contract quickly elevating the upper eyelid 1-3 mm. Your cosmetic doctor should know this and try to manage this until it wears off. This is a well known risk of Botox.
