Answer: Good morning,
Thank you for your recent enquiry, I hope you are well. I am afraid we are unable to treat that condition, you need to go a see an ophtalmologist, please. Have a great afternoon!
Best wishes,
Lavinia

Answer: Hello, and thank you for your query. Botox is not contraindicated in patients with retinitis pugmentosa, but care should be taken with injections around the eyes, as a rare side effect could be acute angle closure of the eyelids, leading to reduced vision. I would advise that botox treatment is suitable for areas like the frown and forehead, but not for the crows feet to the sides of the eyes.
I hope this has answered your query, but please message me (link in bio) if you have any further queries.
Warm regards
