1 Four hundred and eighty‐three hypertensive patients being treated with propranolol or other hypotensive drugs were questioned about symptoms of gritty feelings, sore or red eyes, photophobia and use of eye drops. 2 Between 11.6% and 29.8% gave positive answers but there was no difference between the different drug regimes. The complaint of ‘red eyes’ was more common in smokers.
