metoprolol and Glaucoma

metoprolol has been researched along with Glaucoma in 11 studies

Metoprolol: A selective adrenergic beta-1 blocking agent that is commonly used to treat ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS.
metoprolol : A propanolamine that is 1-(propan-2-ylamino)propan-2-ol substituted by a 4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy group at position 1.

Glaucoma: An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

"The selective beta-1 blocker Metoprolol was tested for a period of one month in a double-blind trial involving 36 patients with open-angle glaucoma or intraocular hypertension in whom the substance was applied twice daily to the eye in concentrations of 1, 2, 4 and 8%."9.05[The influence of metoprolol eye drops on intraocular pressure (author's transl)].
