Retrobulbar botulinum toxin for treatment of oscillopsia.
Two cases are presented in which multiple episodic retrobulbar botulinum toxin injections have diminished incapacitating acquired oscillopsia and nystagmus and improved visual acuity. One transient ptosis occurred in six procedures. Improvement duration averaged approximately three months. This is a simple, safe and effective therapy where alternative treatments are typically unsatisfactory.
