A member asked:
Does smoking weed affect the gas bubble in your eye after a vitrectomy for a macular hole. would it affect how the hole closes. can i smoke?

Be wary: Twenties male concerned about smoking cannabis after vitrectomy. A person with this circumstance needs to know that cannabis affects pressure inside the eye. Therefore, the surgeon who did the procedure needs to be asked this question, and before cannabis is consumed. Cannabis has ameliorating effects in cases of ocular glaucoma.
