ResumoPhysiological studies support the possibility of adrenergic regulation of aqueous humor secretion from the ciliary process, a tissue which has recently been shown to contain a predominance of β 2 ‐adrenoceptors. The present experiments examine the effects of a potent and highly specific β 2 ‐antagonist (IPS 339) on intraocular pressure in the normal rabbit eye. The observed decrease in pressure caused by IPS 339 suggests that highly specific β 2 ‐antagonists may be useful in decreasing elevated intraocular pressure.
