Although dysphagia and blepharoptosis seem to be shorter lived than the paralysis of the target muscles, these complications are sometimes troublesome. (references)

For example, in ophthalmic applications, scleral perforation, orbital hemorrhage, blepharoptosis, and overcorrection due to weakness of other extraocular muscles may occur. (references)
