. The effect on intraocular pressure of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0% D‐timolol and 0.25 or 0.5% L‐timolol was determined in healthy volunteers after a single topical application. A dose‐response relationship for D‐timolol could be established. The effect on a diurnal pressure curve and on aqueous humour production was about twice as large with 0.25% L‐timolol as with 4.0% D‐timolol.
