Can medical marijuana be used to treat convergence insufficiency?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
No. Marijuana is known to potentially decrease the accommodative amplitude of the eyes (reduce the eyes ability to focus at near). The eyes use accommodation as a way of facilitating convergence, so the lower the accommodative amplitude, the harder it is to converge the eyes. In short, using marijuana will make convergence more difficult and is therefore NOT a treatment option for convergence insufficiency; It's a condtraindication.
