Systemic:

1. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to alpha- and/or beta-adrenoceptor antagonists

2. Clinically significant systemic disease that might interfere with the study

3. Initiation of treatment with or any changes to the current dosage, drug, or regimen of any systemic adrenergic or cholinergic drugs within 7 days prior to screening or during the study
