  • Title: [Application of beta blockers in ophthalmology].
    Author: Cvetković D.
    Journal: Srp Arh Celok Lek; 1992 Jun; 120 Suppl 4():51-3. PubMed ID: 18193811.
    Abstract:
    Local application of beta blockers as ophthalmological drops effectively reduces intraocular pressure by decreaseing production of aqueous humor. Together with myotics, they are considered the basic medication for treatment of glaucoma. Two drugs in this group have come into wide clinical usage: timolol (nonselective) and betaxolol (selective beta blocker). In addition to rare local unwanted effects, care should be taken of their general effect on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
