How does marijuana affect cataract surgery? -

How long before cataract surgery should someone stop smoking marijuana? How would the ingestion of marijuana (before the surgery) affect the actual cataract surgery?Marijuana will not effect it at all.

If you-re worried because you have heard marijuana is linked with eye health, know this- marijuana is good for eye health.
For over a decade researchers have known that the active ingredient in marijuana (THC) can lead to a pressure reduction in the eye.

Only things you really don-t want to take are things that will thin your blood (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc). THC will not do this.

I-d probably smoke before heading to the hospital just to calm my nerves. :)I-ve heard that marijuana helps people with cataracts. My only thought is how it will mix with the anesthesia.Negatively, I assume.just make sure the doctor has plenty of munchies on hand
