Frequently asked questions — Glaucoma in Kirkland
What documentation do I need for a glaucoma telehealth evaluation?
Records from your ophthalmologist showing your glaucoma diagnosis and IOP measurements are very helpful. Your physician will review your documentation and issue authorization the same day.
Does cannabis lower eye pressure in glaucoma?
THC does temporarily reduce intraocular pressure. Most ophthalmologists note the effect is shorter-lived than prescription eye drops, so cannabis is typically used as an adjunct — especially for pain and sleep quality.
Can returning glaucoma patients renew via telehealth?
Yes. Annual renewals are $140 and fully telehealth. Your physician will review your current status and renew your authorization for another year.
