Primary open angle glaucoma (P. O. A. G. ) is a major cause of blindness throughout the world. This disease is characterised by raised intraocular pressure (I. O. P. ) leading to progressive vision loss. Topical beta blockers decrease aqueous production and therefore lower I. O. P. How beta blockers decrease aqueous production is not known. It is presumed they exert their I. O. P. lowering effect by binding to ciliary process beta-adrenoceptors. The purpose of this study was to determine whether beta-adrenoceptors exist in pigmented ciliary process; to determine the subtype (Beta-1 or Beta-2) of receptor present in the ciliary processes; to determine which beta blocker binds most potently to the receptors in vitro and finally to determine w...
