While THC is useful in reducing eye pressures in Glaucoma, it is known to cause hardening of blood vessels, esp capillaries which can cause damage to many organ systems including the eyes. Ask your eye Dr specifically about your drug use and its possible effects in your specific situation. You may want to try prescription medications instead of variable level marijuana use to address anxiety/ADHD.
