Timolol: its effectiveness in different types of glaucoma.

Abstract

A study is presented on the effectiveness of timolol maleate in the treatment of 76 cases of various types of glaucoma. Timolol lowered intraocular pressure significantly in almost every diagnostic category, although there was marked variability within the diagnostic categories themselves. The therapeutic trial approach is suggested as an aid in selecting persons who will respond adequately to timolol drops.
