How Extraocular Muscle Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection is performed
This treatment is often used to relieve excessive activity of the extraocular muscles. Usually under topical or short-acting anesthesia, the target muscle is selected, and botulinum toxin is precisely injected under electromyographic or imaging guidance to reduce local neuromuscular conduction, thereby reducing eye movement or related spasms.
