A member asked:

Betaxolol ophthalmic ok for the eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This is an anti-glaucoma medication which has a lowered systemic effect on the heart and lungs than others in this category. Like all drugs there is a tiny risk of allergy and ineffectiveness, but it has been a very useful addition to the anti-glaucoma drug spectrum.
