How Extraocular Muscle Botulinum Toxin Injection is performed
This treatment often uses type A botulinum toxin as an optional drug to temporarily weaken the tension of the target extraocular muscle. Usually, the injection point is located under topical anesthesia, and electromyography or imaging guidance is used if necessary to inject a small amount of the drug into the intended muscle. Subsequently, observe the eye position and discomfort reactions. The therapeutic effect may gradually appear and weaken over time. Early attention should be paid to changes in diplopia, corneal exposure, and eyelid status. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
