[Vistagan-Liquifilm in the treatment of simple glaucoma]

Thirty patients (60 eyes) with bilateral open angle glaucoma in whom normalization of the IOP could not be obtained by a conservatory treatment with miotics are presented. In the period of 3 months they were given twice daily a 0.5% solution of Vistagan-Liquifilm, a compound blocking as well the beta 1 as the beta 2 receptors. After 2 weeks 76.7 p.c. of the treated eyes showed a normalization of the intraocular pressure and 23.3 p.c. an improvement. After 3 months the IOP was normalized in 73.3 p.c.; an improvement showed 26.7 p.c. of the eyes. The compound was well tolerated and did not cause any complications from the side of the respiratory or circulatory system.
