Zusammenfassung:	We treated 20 patients who had primary open-angle glaucoma with either 0.25% or 0.5% timolol for nine weeks. Once-daily administration of timolol significantly reduced intraocular pressure (to less than 21 mm Hg) in nine patients; four patients required twice-daily administration. In seven cases, we judged the treatment to have failed.
