BOTOX (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The effects of botulinum toxin have been known since the turn of the century, but not until 1980 was the toxin found to be therapeutically valuable for a number of ophthalmologic disorders.

It is important to understand that BOTOX is an effective, ongoing treatment for the relief of symptoms only - it is not a cure.  And, because every patient is different, the degree of relief will vary from person to person.
