Local and systemic effects of pindolol eye drops.
Local (reduction of intraocular pressure) and systemic (inhibition of exercise-induced tachycardia) effects of 1% and 0.25% pindolol eye drops have been studied in a balanced cross-over double-blind trial in 12 healthy volunteers. Both concentrations produced a comparable reduction in intraocular pressure while the inhibition of exercise tachycardia was significantly less with the lower concentration.
