W P Boger

    Survey of Ophthalmology
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Timolol may help manage severe childhood glaucoma, but long-term effectiveness and side effects in children, especially those under one, require further study. Concerns exist regarding potential lifelong blindness from uncontrolled intraocular pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Childhood glaucoma presents a significant risk of lifelong vision loss.
    • Investigational studies in pediatric populations face unique challenges, including potential delayed side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the role of timolol in treating childhood glaucoma.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of timolol for lowering intraocular pressure in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical assessment of timolol's impact on intraocular pressure in children with glaucoma.
    • Comparison of pediatric outcomes with those observed in adult glaucoma cases.

    Main Results:

    • Timolol can be effective in managing severe and difficult pediatric glaucoma cases.

  • Results in children show similarities to those in severe adult glaucoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Timolol offers a potential treatment option for severe childhood glaucoma, though long-term efficacy is not guaranteed.
    • Children, particularly infants, may be more susceptible to systemic and unknown long-term side effects of topical timolol.
