| Summary: | The article presents a case report of 86 years old patient S. (woman), hospitalized in the ophthalmology department of the hospital with a diagnosis of “complicated immature cataract of the left eye, open-angle glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration”. The patient experienced an episode of a fall with a short-term loss of consciousness, severe hypotension (blood pressure – 40/10 mmHg), and bradycardia (heart rate – 32 beats/min) while receiving a local form of beta-blocker in combination with diuretics. In this clinical case, the development of serious adverse reaction is significantly associated with adverse drug interaction (according to Horn-Hansten scale). |
