A member asked:
Can smoking pot help my corneal transplant heal faster?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Smoking marijuana will only transiently lower the pressure in the eye. It will not affect healing in any way.

No: The vasoconstictive effects may transiently impede healing. Smoking anything is not a good idea post operative lay, or any time.
