How does marijuana affect 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.
