Suggest Treatment For Partial Retinal
I was recently diagnosed with a partial retinal tear and am also a legal medical marijuana patient. Wondering the effects of this. My opthamologist is not telling me that I need corrective surgery yet, and the lowering of eye pressure by marijuana use may help the situation.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having partial retinal tear.
This requires treatment by leader photo coagulation.
This is essential to prevent complications like development of retinal detachment.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for treatment by laser.
Thank you
