Local (reduction of intraocular pressure) and systemic (inhibition of exercise‐induced tachycardia) effects of 1% and 0.25% pindolol eye drops have been studied in a balanced cross‐over double‐blind trial in 12 healthy volunteers. Both concentrations produced a comparable reduction in intraocular pressure while the inhibition of exercise tachycardia was significantly less with the lower concentration.
