, 13. BETA-ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS - ANSWER-An Ophthalmic Beta
Blocker That Reduces Both Elevated And Normal Intra-Ocular Pressure.
They Reduce Intra-Ocular Pressure By Reducing Aqueous Humor
Formation.
14. TYPES OF BETA-ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS - ANSWER-BETAXOLOL
TIMOLOL
15. BETAXOLOL - ANSWER-AKA: Betoptic
Chronic Open-Angle Glaucoma, Ocular Htn
One Of The Most Potent And Selective Beta Blocking Drugs.
16. TIMOLOL - ANSWER-AKA: Timoptic
This Beta Blocker Is The Only One That May Increase The Outflow Of
Aqueous Humor As Well As Decrease Its Formation. This Is Available In
Gel And Liquid Form.
