I haven't personally tried Botox for headaches, but I can share some thoughts on your situation.
It's understandable that you're hesitant about trying Botox again, especially given your previous experience and your eye conditions. While your eye doctor has cleared it, your concern about potential impacts on your glaucoma and macular degeneration is completely valid.

Hi, @ronma. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you have experienced headaches and may have tried some medical treatments or self-care.

ronma, what type of headaches did your doctor diagnose you with? What have you found helpful to get relief? Since this discussion is about trying onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox), I note you said you've not tried this treatment. Is it one option presented to you by your doctor?
