OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect on serum lipid levels of carteolol hydrochloride 1.0% or timolol maleate 0.5% given twice a day to women age 60 years and older with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
METHODS
We included 112 patients in this double-masked, randomized, multicenter
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of 0.5% timolol maleate, 2% carteolol, and 0.3% metipranolol on intraocular pressure (IOP) in 45 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension. A secondary goal of this study was to evaluate the ocular and systemic side effects of these
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether two topical beta-blockers, timolol and carteolol, differently affect plasma lipids and lipoproteins in normolipidemic Japanese patients with glaucoma.
METHODS
Thirty-three normolipidemic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were randomly
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association among elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), the metabolic syndrome (MetS), body mass index (BMI), and some of their components in the Israeli population.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 12 747 soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces, aged 35y or
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and several systemic health parameters in Taiwan.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records from all participants who had been examined in China Medical University Hospital. A total of
OBJECTIVE
To examine whether an association exists between long-term use of topical timolol and blood lipids, including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), cholesterol, and triglycerides, among participants of the Blue Mountains Eye Study.

From 1992 through 1994, a detailed medical
BACKGROUND
Worldwide, degenerative eye diseases (age-related maculopathy (ARM), cataract, glaucoma) are the main causes of visual impairment and blindness, which contribute to disability in the elderly. Mainly three types of nutritional factors are investigated for their potential protection against
Previous studies reported that hyperlipidemia and blood lipid levels were associated with glaucoma, ocular hypertension (OHT), and intraocular pressure (IOP). However, studies aimed at investigating this association have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, to shed light on these
