The benefit for eyes: Is in helping with glaucoma and lowering pressure in the eye. It does not help with healing from injury.

Not helpful: Cannabis causes dryness of the cornea or surface of the eye, which could prolong healing. You are maybe refering to cannabis helping something called glaucoma, which has to do with increased pressure in the eye. It sounds like, that is not what you have.
