Abstract:
Any injector can accidentally spill a few drops of BTX into the eye. It might very well be a harrowing experience to the uninformed: the good news is that the patient is at no risk of untoward sequelae. Although the BTX that diffuses into the orbit from these injections might well cause adverse effects, the same neurotoxin dropped into the eye is no more than a matter of wasting expensive material. We present herein our experience with such an accident, and support it with theoretical considerations.
