Timolol

Drug Details

Timolol is an eye drop medication used to treat high eye pressure caused by conditions such as ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of glaucoma. By reducing the fluid production inside the eye, Timolol effectively lowers eye pressure, helping to prevent vision loss or blindness. This medication is part of the beta-blocker class and is typically administered as one drop into the affected eye(s) once or twice daily. While it may cause temporary burning or stinging upon application, this side effect generally subsides. Although the brand Timoptic is no longer available, the generic form of Timolol remains accessible.
