چکیده

A blind randomised cross-over study was conducted on 10 patients (20 eyes) to compare the effect in patients with open-angle glaucoma of metipranolol 0.3% with that of timolol 0.25% on intraocular pressure following one month's topical instillation with each preparation alone. There was no statistically significant difference in intraocular pressure reduction between these two preparations, and the ocular tolerance of both was good. There was no significant difference in the blood pressure, pulse, or pupil diameters of patients receiving either preparation.

Blind randomised non-crossover long-term trial comparing topical timolol 0.25% with timolol 0.5% in the treatment of simple chronic glaucoma.

The results of a 12-month blind randomised trial comparing the intraocular pressure lowering effect of timolol 0.25% with timolol 0.5% are presented. 27% of patients (22% of eyes) required additional antiglaucoma medication after a minimum time interval of 6 months to maintain an intraocular pressure less than 23 mmHg. The mean reduction in intraocular pressure (from pretreatment values) at 12 ...

Interaction of timolol and adrenaline.

In a prospective double-blind randomised trial the interaction of timolol and adrenaline was studied in 20 patients with open-angle glaucoma and exfoliative glaucoma. After pretreatment for at least 2 weeks with timolol eyedrops adrenaline was added in a double-blind manner, and the intraocular pressure was recorded during 4 days. The study showed a significantly additive hypotensive effect of ...

Effect of pindolol on intraocular pressure in glaucoma: pilot study and a randomised comparison with timolol.

A pilot study on 10 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma and a randomised double-blind study on 18 patients with glaucoma were carried out to investigate the effect of pindolol, a beta-adrenergic blocking agent, on the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma. The studies showed that pindolol may reduce the IOP and that no significant difference between the effect of t...
