Original Abstract of the Article

Major Research Findings

Timolol ophthalmic solution is a common medication used to treat glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure. 7 , 19 , 26 , 30 , 2 , 16 , 18 , 14 , 15 , 8 , 3 , 12 , 1 , 21 , 4 , 6 , 27 , 25 , 20 , 28 , 10 , 17 , 22 , , 13 , 24 , 11 , 9 , 29 Research has shown that timolol ophthalmic solution effectively lowers intraocular pressure. 26 Timolol ophthalmic solution may also work more effectively in lowering intraocular pressure when used in combination with other glaucoma medications. 20 Furthermore, timolol ophthalmic solution is considered safer than other treatment options. 1 However, timolol ophthalmic solution may affect the heart and respiratory system. 7 , 3 , 27 , 25
