BOTOX® was discovered and developed by an ophthalmologist almost thirty years ago. At Eye Care on 5th, your premiere Manhattan eye doctors have been safely using BOTOX® for medical purposes for many years, treating benign essential blepharospasm (a condition characterized by abnormal blinking or spasms of the eyelids) as well as cosmetic reasons.

As you likely know, a greatly beneficial cosmetic effect was noticed during the BOTOX® treatment of these medical conditions, due to relaxation of the muscles of the face and the ones surrounding the eyes.

Since this effect was noted BOTOX® has become a predictable and safe procedure for softening and removing wrinkles and creases of areas of the face without restricting important facial movements or the positive range of human expression.
