PurposeTo investigate the respiratory and cardiovascular effects of switching therapy from topical timolol 0.5% to latanoprost 0.005% in elderly patients with glaucoma.MethodsTwenty-five patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who were treated with topical timolol 0.5% were included in the study. The beta-blocker treatment was ended due to insufficient intraocular pressure (IOP) and systemic or local side effects. The treatment then switched to latanoprost in these patients. All recruited patients underwent a full ocular, cardiovascular, and respiratory examination including spirometry, pulse rate, and blood pressure. All measurements were made 1 day before the beta-blocker treatment was ended and 30 days after the latanoprost treatment was started.ResultsTimolol treatment was associated with numerically but not statistically significant lowered pulse rates, systemic blood pressure, diastolic blood …
