[Effect of timolol and acetazolamide on intraocular hypertension after intracapsular lens extraction with alpha-chymotrypsin (author's transl)].
After intracapsular lens extraction with alpha-chymotrypsin three groups of 14 patients were formed. The first group was given Timolol 0.25% 2 x 1 drops, the second acetazolamide in sustained release form 1 x 500 mg and the third served as control. In all three groups the postoperatively elevated pressure diminished significantly in the first five postoperative days. The pressure diminution on the fourth and fifth postoperative day was accelerated by Timolol but not by acetazolamide.
