[Effect of long-term administration of timolol eye drops in open-angle glaucoma (author's transl)]

Abstract

The authors report on ten patients with unstabilized open-angle glaucoma who were treated for up to six months with Timolol eye drops. A significant lowering of intraocular pressure was recorded throughout the treatment period. There was no evidence of deterioration of visual field or acuity. Subjective tolerance was good except in one patient who suffered temporarily from slight tachycardia.
