Abstract
Botulinum toxin has found numerous uses in medicine, with new indications being continually added. This agent has become the treatment of choice for a number of movement disorders, and has been advocated for many other conditions such as aesthetic reduction of facial wrinkles. Among ophthalmic plastic surgeons, botulinum toxins are often used as the first line treatment for facial dystonias. These toxins are also efficacious for the temporary management of various other conditions including keratopathies (through so called chemo-tarsorraphy), upper eyelid retraction, orbicularis overaction-induced lower eyelid entropion, gustatory epiphora, Frey's syndrome, and dynamic facial rhytids such as lateral canthal wrinkles (crow's feet), glabellar creases and horizontal forehead lines. Four leading Oculoplasty Surgeons of India opine in our panel discussion on their preferred 'Practice Pattern' regarding use of Botox in Ophthalmology. Their immense clinical experience, outstanding body of work, deep insight in their art and unmatched academic credentials will provide an excellent learning experience for our readers. The Editorial Board of BJO is deeply indebted to them for their contribution, considering the trials and tribulations of the continuing COVID era.
