We performed central pachymetry on two patients with pellucid and Terrien's corneal marginal degeneration with mean central corneal thicknesses of .487 mm and .466 mm, respectively. We believe that differential corneal thickness measurements may assist in the differential diagnosis of the corneal thinning syndromes.
Timolol maleate, a nonselective beta blocker, has been associated with adverse reactions when administered topically or systemically. The current literature pertaining to timolol-related side effects and reports to the National Registry of Drug Induced Ocular Side Effects are reviewed. Knowing what side effects are associated with the systemic administration of timolol is helpful in predicting systemic side effects that may be encountered when timolol is administered topically.
