Crossed eyes is an eye condition that causes the yes to look in differing directions.

Botox treatments are used to relieve the migraine symptoms. Botox injections are applied in specific areas of the head and neck and this will help to reduce the duration and frequency of chronic migraines. Eye dystonia is an involuntary eye muscle movement that can cause uncontrollable blinking or twitching of the eyes. The involuntary movements can really affect the day to day activities such as reading, writing and driving. Botox is administered to the overactive muscle that is responsible for causing the disorder. The results of the Botox treatment will not be visible up to two to three weeks after the procedure. Cervical dystonia is an uncontrollable urge to lean or twist the head or neck which can cause them to be in an awkward position.
