Botox shots in the eye may replace surgery for strabismus
NCT ID NCT07180394
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting Botox into the eye muscles can correct strabismus (misaligned eyes) without surgery. 127 children and adults with small-to-moderate eye turns will receive Botox injections, and their eye alignment will be tracked for a year. The goal is to see if this temporary paralysis leads to lasting improvement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injection into eye muscles
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive alternative to surgery for correcting eye misalignment, with lasting improvement even after the drug wears off.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, non-randomized trial with no control group. The effect is temporary (muscle paralysis lasts weeks), and long-term alignment may not hold for everyone. Risks include double vision, droopy eyelid, or need for repeat injections.
