What is a common adverse effect associated with beta-blockers for glaucoma?

  1. Nausea

  2. Stinging and burning of the eyes

  3. Increased intraocular pressure

  4. Eyelash growth

The correct answer is: Stinging and burning of the eyes

Stinging and burning of the eyes is a common adverse effect associated with beta-blockers for glaucoma. Beta-blockers work by reducing the production of aqueous humor in the eye, which can lead to dryness and irritation of the eye. This can cause stinging and burning sensations in the eye. Option A (nausea) is not a common adverse effect of beta-blockers for glaucoma. Option C (increased intraocular pressure) is actually the opposite effect of what beta-blockers are intended for. And option D (eyelash growth) is not a known adverse effect of beta-blockers for glaucoma.
