Botox Eyelid Drooping: Causes, Remedies & Iopidine Eye Drops

Botox is a product that when injected into the skin, paralyzes the muscles and helps to fill in small crevices also known as wrinkles. An unfortunate side effect from Botox injections is a drooping eyelid. Unfortunately, the only remedy to cure eyelid drooping besides time is Iopidine eye drops. Iopidine drops lower the amount of pressure in your eye caused by the Botox injection by reducing the amount of fluid your eyes produce. This fluid and pressure is what causes your eyelids to droop.
