Unfortunately no: Atropine can take a week to washout. There is really not much that will help but waiting.

I had a corneal abrasion 3 days ago. I went to the ophthalmologist and was given Tobradex and Systane eye drops. I use Medical Marijuana regularly and want to know if it will negatively impact the healing process. How long should I wait to use M.J.?
