Publication type: Case Reports

We report three cases in which cosmetic injections of botulinum toxin A around the eye caused diplopia. Diplopia was due to inferior oblique paresis, which was bilateral in two cases. We suggest that consent for periocular botulinum toxin procedures should include a warning about diplopia.
