[Clinical suitability of pindolol eyedrops in the treatment of chronic open-angle glaucoma].
Pindolol eye drops were compared with Timolol in a randomized 4-week investigation carried out in patients suffering from open-angle glaucoma. The two drugs were found to have the same pressure-lowering effect. Pindolol has been used in internal medicine for more than 12 years now. It has less influence on airway resistance than Timolol.
