Am in my 60's ( eeeek! ) and it's been many moons since I've had my eyes examined and I need it.

I have an appointment in about an hour but I also just did a bit of Chem Scout and wonder if I made a mistake in doing so, so close to an eye exam.


What say you?

i make a point of being buzzed to be sure the anti-glaucoma effects are present and measured ... maintaining a stable intraocular pressure for going on 12 years ... besides, it's my natural state.

If they have the pupil expanding drops, you're going to look buggered anyway.

And what are some strains you really feel in the eyeballs? Anyone can answer.

It is what it is man, but you're smoking something that makes your eyes feel better and I am interested

oh, sorry ... eyes don't feel better, just have better intraocular pressure readings ... being high all the time makes me feel better overall - at least at almost 70 i ain't got no pains and such like.


i attribute most of this to my nutrition - real food - and fitness routine - 30 minutes of cardio on Nordic Track and 20 minutes of strength training, most days.

My eye-sight went down hill for years, and due to other complications I make a point of doing my once-every two-years-or-so exams straight as an arrow.

But my guess is that you'll get more negative distortion of your results by staring at your computer screen for hours on end than from taking a few puffs.

Dry-eye syndrome and the effects on vision suck, and are probably more of a cause of skewed vision or distortion than the herb is. Just my experience.

And as another pointed out early on, you're pretty well pas the opportunity to say, "Not now, maybe later." anyway.. Right?

You guys missed my point. I actually messed up my medication for glaucoma by getting tested right after dabbing. The drop was significant enough for the Dr to take me off meds, however, the reduced pressure only last a short duration. So in my case both meds bring my pressure down to normal levels.... Dr drops 6-8hrs. Dabs 2-3. Drops about 5 points each prescription.
