A study of the effects of four concentrations of D-timolol, 0.25% L-timolol, and placebo on intraocular pressure on patients with raised intraocular pressure.

The intraocular pressure lowering effect in 30 patients with raised intraocular pressure and open angles following a single application in a randomised double-masked fashion of four concentrations of D-timolol (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%), 0.25% L-timolol, and placebo are presented. The percentage reduction in intraocular pressure after four hours following single-drop instillation range from 20% to 25% in the D-timolol group, 32% in the L-timolol group, and only 8% in the placebo group of treated eyes.
