Dont be so hasty in ruling out cannabis. This man fails to understand that there are a number of ways to consume cannabis, and as this article states, effects when applied topically can last up to 12 hours. You dont need to smoke it. You can either injest it or use eye drops under medical supervision. Either way, incorporating it into your diet will help create homeostasis throughout your entire immune system so it's a win win if you incorporate cannabis into your daily routine whatever your health. https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/cannabis-for-glaucoma-is-the-real-deal
I'm "lucky" enough to have had both kinds already. Fortunately, they were both caught in time that no damage was done. My vision is bad enough as it is. Also, he does know you can EAT pot, right?
I'm suffering from glaucoma myself. The pressure that built up became so intense that the pain in my head was so overwhelming that I threw up twice when I was on the plane. Finally, I underwent for the Laser treatment. Although it works I still do receive the "attacks" occasionally especially in certain lighting conditions like in a movie theatre or when they switched off the cabin lights on the plane.
So I always have the Isopto-Carpine ("Pilo") drop with me everywhere I go.
THC for the win..Havingh suffered for 30 years It works when it is needed and it works INSTANTLY, Unlike the meds I ahae to take for attacks…ALL of my Doctors say "I cant exactly perscribe the medicine you are using but what ever it is, Keep it up". Its good for more than just vision too. Ive broken 16 bones i have screws and bolts in me..Ive broken my back 3 times..I dont even take Advill anymore. Seems like he is just a Doctor that relies on big pharma to pay his bills.
My girlfriend has glaucoma in her left eye. It left her blind in that eye when she was only 16, she's 27 now. She is my inspiration and I love her so much. She has been so strong about it. I would be devastated. But she deals with it tremendously well. I do everything I can for her and will continue to for the rest of our lives together. ❤😉
this doctor does not understand how many people use grass….it's kinda hilarious, but it's also sort of irresponsibly bad advice that he gives…if you smoke all the time, enjoy the high probability that you will not have glaucoma my stoner friends!
To be honest that guy says its not worth it to smoke marijuana therapeutically every day but how much would it cost to pay the doctor's and staff plus medical treatment by other means? Lol sound to me like being a pothead is cheaper and he should try it might even change his perspective.
In reference to Cannabis (which would be cool if medical professionals called it by it's proper name instead of it's racist slang name) the "Peak" from Cannabis is the only time it would properly relieve inter- or intra- ocular pressure, and that peak starts a within a few minuets(presuming smoking/vaping, not ingesting) & lasts around 15 minuets, total. Peak from ingestion is way harder to calculate & effects your body differently, so while the peak is much longer, it's not acting on the eyes like smoking/vaping does. He's correct that you would have to be smoking/vaping, more or less constantly, for it to meet the criteria for any kind of effective "treatment". It's just very temporary relief.

So what if you are not smoking the marijuana but rather injecting it directly into your cells by the use of cannabis oil.
Smoke weed you will never get it…

How is glaucoma a neurodegenerative disorder rather than an "ocular" one such as astigmatism?

4:49 Just realized that this guy looks and sounds like an older version of Simon Pegg.
What about eating it rather than smoking it?
I can’t lie, the only reason why I clicked this video is because I thought it said guacamole
"You would literally just have to be smoking continuously…"
Don't challenge me!

Cannabis seems to alleviate that well.
So you're saying that smoking weed continuously will prevent glaucoma. That's all I need to hear.
STFU. It will be fix in the next patch update

You're a neurodegenerate.

Oooh, I'd love to see (HA!) a video dedicated to Retinitis Pigmentosa! (I've got X-linked RP2, myself)
