A method for treating glaucoma consisting of exposing the eye to a corticosteroid and then applying an adrenergic agent to the eye which acts to decrease ocular pressure. Useful adrenergic agents include both alpha and beta agonists and antagonists, including, for example, epinephrine, dipivalyl epinephrine, betaxolol, levobunolol and timolol. Useful steroids, which are preferably applied topically, include dexamethasone, prednisone, cortisone, and triamcinolone. In the preferred embodiment, a solution of less than 0.1 % dexamethasone and a solution of less than 2 % epinephrine or less than 0.1 % dipivalyl epinephrine are topically applied to the eye. |
