Marijuana does help glaucoma, but only for a very short period of time. Latisse can change the melanin in your eyeball and it can darken the color of your eye. If you have brown eyes to begin with, it's not going to lighten your eyes. It is rare, but you can have people with blue eyes kind of get darker eyes while they're taking that medication. Susan Kirra wants to know how bad are lash extensions for your eyes professionally done? So probably fine most of the time. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
75% of adult Americans have wonky vision of some kind, your host included. Longtime pal and real-life eye surgeon, Dr. Reid Wainess answers all the questions that you never bring up during appointments. He and Alie chat about how eyes are just little cameras in your skull, glasses vs. contacts, Lasik, why we cry, some boggling ER stories, how marijuana effects eyeballs, floaters, cataracts, eye color, dogs in goggles and more. Also: what happens if you choke under pressure and pick the wrong options in an eye exam? HOW SCREWED ARE YOU?
