1 Four hundred and eighty-three hypertensive patients being treated with propranolol or other hypotensive drugs were questioned about symptoms of gritty feelings, sore or red eyes, photophobia and use of eye drops. 2 Between 11.6% and 29.8% gave positive answers but there was no difference between the different drug regimes. The complaint of 'red eyes' was more common in smokers.
