Abstract

This essay is to reviewThe use of botulinum toxin in ophthalmology has significantly altered the ability to manage a number of difficult surgical and medical problems.
Its greatest benefit has been seen in the treatment of movement disorders and in aesthetic wrinkle reduction.
Additional uses are described annually, and its value in the therapeutic armamentarium is expected to grow.
Although the risks are relatively low and generally well-tolerated, they are not inconsequential, and the treating physician is well advised to develop the skills needed to appropriately administer this drug.
When properly delivered, botulinum toxin can provide safe and gratifying results.
