[Experience with timolol in consulting patients (author's transl)].

Experience obtained in the treatment of 78 eyes of patients suffering from open-angle glaucoma with the beta-blocker Timolol 0.25% and 0.5%. Timolol was only given to patients whose intraocular pressure could no longer be adequately regulated by the medications previously employed. A synopsis is given of the medications used over many years. The intraocular pressures of the eyes that responded to Timolol remained below 23 mmHg even after prolonged use, so that a fistulizing operation was initially unnecessary.
