RE: An honest look at the Glaucoma and Marijuana !

in #steemstem7 years ago

Ultimately, Marijuana only cures the Open angle type of glaucoma but not the other types. As the blood pressure is low in the trabecular meshwork and then there is great amount of drainage of Aqueous humour . But in the angle closure and mixed type, it has no role in it . Thanks again for sharing sir .Hope to see more good science contents from you !

Hi there mate. just wanted to draw yoyr attention on this-there is is no cure for for open angle glaucoma. the goal is to only slow down the progression to a level where even it continues to progress- it wont cause any trouble during the life of the person. also, besides the open angle glaucoma- it has shown benefits in ocular hypertension and well as normal tension glaucoma- a varisnt of oag where the iop is normal but the damage is persistent. Great content .

Yes, the goal is to decrease the progression, not to cure completely. As yes, it has even shown some benefits on the Ocular hypertension Thanks for your reply sir !
