Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used primarily to treat elevated intraocular pressure in ocular conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is also used systemically for hypertension, migraine prophylaxis, and occasionally for arrhythmias. Ophthalmic timolol is widely approved and used today.
