Brief Answer:
Botox side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand that you are well apprised of the side effects of Botox injections and yes, you seem to be having them. Blurry vision is due to muscle paralysis of the eyes and this would recover fully once the action of the drug wears out. In fact, this effect would start recovering faster compared to the effect of the drug in other areas of the face and neck. Dizziness is also temporary and would recover much faster compared to blurry vision. All of these effects usually last for a few weeks and then spontaneously recover.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
