Your neurologist is correct. I certainly would. There are other areas to be avoided. And the Botox area does spread in the week it is administered. But like I said, if one uses a reputable doctor and considers sensitive areas, there would be no problem. (ie, put the Botox in your back shoulder or neck to relax the muscles that run up into your head. They won't be near your eyes. It's physiologically impossible! People shouldn't be fearful of safe procedures. Nothing is foolproof in any procedure, anytime, anywhere. One has to use common sense and investigate. Botox injections themselves are not toxic. It has nothing to do with macular degeneration or glaucoma. I think you are conflating things which don't need to go together. So I don't want you to unecessarily scare other people because you have a particular issue and are afraid. I understand the concern. But you have a particular issue and your doctors are being proactive. I've had TWO retinal detachments and have glaucoma. The injections I've had don't come anywhere near my eyes.
