A clear view on CBD oil and Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that damages your eye’s optic nerve. It usually happens when fluid builds up in the front part of your eye. That extra fluid increases the pressure in your eye, damaging the optic nerve. Blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment.
What Are the Types of Glaucoma?
There are two main kinds:
- Open-angle glaucoma. It’s the most common type. Your doctor may also call it wide-angle glaucoma. The drain structure in your eye — it’s called the trabecular meshwork — looks normal, but fluid doesn’t flow out like it should.
- Angle-closure glaucoma. You may also hear it called acute or chronic angle-closure or narrow-angle glaucoma. Your eye doesn’t drain right because the drain space between your iris and cornea becomes too narrow. This can cause a sudden build-up of pressure in your eye. It’s also linked to farsightedness and cataracts, a clouding of the lens inside your eye.
Common symptoms are as follows:
The most common type of glaucoma is primary open-angle glaucoma. It has no signs or symptoms except gradual vision loss. For that reason, it’s important that you go to yearly comprehensive eye exams so your ophthalmologist, or eye specialist, can monitor any changes in your vision.
Acute-angle closure glaucoma, which is also known as narrow-angle glaucoma, is a medical emergency. See your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- severe eye pain
- nausea
- vomiting
- redness in your eye
- sudden vision disturbances
- seeing colored rings around lights
- sudden blurred vision
The effect of medical cannabis on Glaucoma
The ability to reduce eye pressure and ease the effects of glaucoma was the first scientifically confirmed health benefit of medical marijuana in 1970’s. This effect was discovered quite by accident by researchers, who were studying the tell-tale marijuana “red eye” in hopes of somehow using the phenomenon to help the DEA to narc out stoners. They incidentally found that cannabis reduced eye pressure by about 25 percent.
According to the American Glaucoma Society, cannabis has demonstrated the ability to lower IOP in both normal individuals and in those with glaucoma, and therefore might be a natural glaucoma treatment.
An exciting finding in the past decade is the discovery of receptors for the active components of cannabis in the tissues of the eye itself, suggesting that local administration has the possibility of being effective. Furthermore, there is evidence from research in the brain that there may be properties of the cannabinoid components of cannabis that protect nerve cells like those in the optic nerve.
The CB2 receptors are also under intense investigation for their possible immunomodulatory effects. Cannabis has been proven to be a useful and effective anti-inflammatory for a range of different conditions. As understanding of the role inflammation has to play in the progression of the disease increases, it may well prove to be the case that cannabis also provides relief to glaucoma patients due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Recommended Glaucoma treatment with CBD
CBD/THC Essential Oil: 3 Drops – 2-3 times a day (Start on 2 drops 2-3x a day. Increase every 48-72 hours by 1 drop per dosing. You can carry on increasing as need be)
Start on the lowest recommended dosage, 2 drops twice daily, to be safe, and increase as you feel comfortable until the desire effect is reached. If you feel “high” or abnormal, decrease dosage and remain on same dosage for 72 hours before increasing it again. Dosing twice a day, morning and later afternoon, is normally sufficient.
