A member asked:
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.?

No direct effect: If the use of marijuana impairs your ability to use your eye drops, healing might be negatively effected. In addition, the use of marijuana may decrease your blink frequency, also slowing healing. You may return to MJ use keeping these things in mind.
