2. The medication may cause some transient eye

discomfort

RATIONALE

Timolol can cause some eye discomfort

when administered. It is important for the client

to continue to take the drug. Glaucoma eyedrops

should be administered as prescribed, not whenever

the client desires. The client with glaucoma needs to

take eye medication on an ongoing basis to control

the disorder and prevent vision damage. There is no

need to refrigerate the drug.
