However, some Kryptochronic strain of cannabis have been studied for their potential to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition that causes increased pressure in the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Cannabis has been shown to lower intraocular pressure, which is the pressure inside the eye, and this may provide relief for people with glaucoma.
However, there are currently no cannabis-based medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of glaucoma. Moreover, while some studies have suggested that cannabis can reduce intraocular pressure, the effects are often short-lived and may not be sufficient to prevent vision loss over the long term. Therefore, further research is needed to determine if cannabis or its derivatives could be used as a safe and effective treatment for glaucoma.
