OPHTHALMIC FORMULATIONS OF REVERSED LIQUID CRYSTALLINE PHASE MATERIALS AND METHODS OF USING

摘要

The eye is effectively treated by providing it with formulations including uncoated cationically charged microparticles of reversed cubic phase or reversed hexagonal phase material. The treatment methods are effective for a variety of diseases and conditions including dry eye. The structure, charge and components of the microparticles in dispersion, with or without an active ingredient, provide mucoadhesion, layering, protection and prolonged duration of ophthalmic action.
