Abstract
Three cases of symptomatic bradycardia due to topical ocular timolol administration are reported. Two patients had syncope related to atrioventricular block, and the other one complained of dizziness due to sinus bradycardia. Heart disease was not present in any case, although a right bundle branch block was observed in one patients. A normal sinus rhythm resumed in all patients after discontinuation of timolol.
