[Report on the application of chibro-timoptol after one year's use in ophthalmological practice (author's transl)].
A summary is given of the common methods of treating glaucoma medically, beginning with the introduction of pilocarpine over 100 years ago and ending, for the time being, with the application of the beta-blocker Timolol Maleat (Chibro-Timoptol). The authors have been using Chibro-Timoptol for over a year and have treated more than 300 patients by this method so far. Timolol proved to have significant advantages over all other pressure-lowering drugs used in the past. It was just as effective or more effective than the substances used previously. For a newly diagnosed glaucoma, the authors therefore recommend using Timolol in all initial attempts at pressure regulation.
