Botox has its effects directly on the muscle into which it is injected. Its effects only last about three months. In strabismus, the goal is to weaken the affected muscle on one side of the eye so that the muscle on the opposite side of the eye can work better.
The science of how and when Botox works has been thoroughly investigated. Although some effects are noticed in 3-4 days, the peak effect is not until 10-14 days. For patients that are new to Botox or having a new area treated, I like to see their results at 2 weeks to determine if any additional treatment is required.
