| Popis: | Propranolol, a β-adrenergic blocking agent, was given by mouth to 22 patients with elevated IOP resistent to conventional medical treatment or where conventional treatment was contraindicated. A lasting reduction of IOP was obtained in 11 cases; open-angle glaucoma or elevated IOP responded best. No significant side-effects were observed. Having in mind the contraindications of β-adrenergic blocking agents, propranolol can be usefully employed in ophthalmology for controlling elevated IOP. |
