The 12 h IOP control achieved by a single application of a newly developed ophthalmic solution containing 0.5% timolol and 2% resp. 4% pilocarpine was compared with that obtained by 1 dose of timolol 0.5% alone in 33 patients with manifest open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The combined solutions gave a significantly better 12 h IOP control, evidenced by both a reduced mean diurnal IOP and a decreased frequency of larger pressure peaks.
