[Use of timolol in treatment of increased intra-ocular pressure following surgery of congenital glaucoma (author's transl)].
In 16 patients from 9 to 34 year old, whose intraocular pressure remained elevated after a surgical procedure against congenital glaucoma, a timolol collyriam of 0.25 or 0.50 concentration was used as first topic treatment. Success was obtained only in 15% of the cuses. Better result followed systemic use of sulfonamid together with timolol. Nevertheless, medical treatment of these residual overpressures is still difficult. It showld be controlled every three months, paying much attention to the diary intraocular pressure curve.
