model of ocular inflammation. In the case described, the patient was commenced on topical timolol in order to treat the secondary glaucoma; however, this had no effect on the inflammatory process. It is possible that that oral metoprolol was effective because it had a higher bioavailability within the posterior segment, as well as anteriorly. It was thus effective in suppressing ocular inflammation through the mechanisms described above.
