A member asked:
My 6 month old baby was diagnosed with infantile esotropia. she has slight refractive errors. what do you say about botox in the eyes to improve eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other choices ?: Botox injected into any of the 6 muscles that control the eye position can help balance the process. It selectively weakens a specific muscle in an effort to improve how the eye lines up. In experienced hands it is one way to treat the problem. My thought would be to try less invasive treatments first.
