Is Botox Safe To Reduce Deep Formed Lines Due To Glaucoma?

It has been suggested that I try botox to reduce deep from lines. I am 65 yrs old and take eye drops Cosopt to treat glaucoma. I have been under the care of a retinologist for the past year due to macular edema and have had two injections which have not been successful and surgery is the next option. Do you think that Botox is a safe for me to have done?
