Summary

In this chapter we will review selected preclinical and clinical information for future development of cannabinoids in the treatment of the eye. Cannabinoids potentially hold great promise for future therapeutic uses, but the clinical knowledge remains too limited to arrive at positive recommendations at this time. Despite the anecdotal reports and interesting findings reported over the past few decades, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Canada Health and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have yet to approve any cannabinoid for use in the treatment of eye disease.
