How Extraocular Muscle Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection (Botox) is performed
In the outpatient clinic or operating room, the target extraocular muscle is selected according to the assessment. The common practice is to slowly inject chemodenervation drugs with a needle under microscopy, and use electromyography or ultrasound guidance to locate it if necessary. The drug temporarily weakens the tension of the target muscle, thereby improving eye position balance. Postoperative monitoring includes corneal protection and eye position changes. Follow-up is conducted to assess whether further treatment is needed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
