Abstract
- The Korean 30 glaucoma patients, 38 eyes were examined. The intraocular pressure was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometer. It was estimated that the intraocular pressure drop rate by instillation of 0.5% timolol eye drops was average 27.7% compared to the intraocular pressure of pre-treatment. There were no significant correlation between intraocular pressure drop rate by instillation of 0.5% timolol eye drops and the height of intraocular pressure of pre-treatment. It was considered that there will be needed some other glaucoma medication added to 0.5% timolol eye drops when pre-treatment intraocular pressure is over the 40mmHg. No any significant side-effects of drug was observed.
