Experiments were performed with enucleated, arterially perfused cat eyes. Timolol blocked the aqueous humor (AH) depressant action of D,L-isoproterenol but had no effect on the similar actions of L-epinephrine or L-norepinephrine. The ocular hypotensive effect of the 3 adrenergic amines were unaltered by timolol. Although the AH actions of D,L-isoproterenol were blocked by timolol, the ability of isoproterenol to lower intraocular pressure remained intact.
