A member asked:
Can medical marijuana be used to treat high myopia and astigmatism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Glaucoma is the only eye condition that marijuana has been known to benefit . There are also better, safer alternatives. Myopia and astigmatism needs eyeglasses or in some cases, contacts. Your ophthalmologist or optometrist can help with that.
