i have heard that botox could lead to macular problems. I had botox 4 times (in 2 years). I also have pathological myopia and lost the use of my macula in one eye. Should I refrain from using botox?

Botox cannot cure macular problems.As you are having pathological myopia in one eye and already you are one eyed its better to consult retina specialist and use low vision aids after consulting retina surgeon.
