Problems solved by technology

However, both treatments have problems: surgery is invasive and potentially dangerous, while artificial tear products provide only temporary, mild pain relief
[0028] To date, there is no such formulation, mainly because complex multi-component drug products are problematic for both pharmacists and manufacturers

Embodiment 1

[0079] An eye drop of the present invention, formulation 1, was prepared as follows: high-purity deionized water (DI) (500 ml) was filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. MSM (27 g), EDTA (13 g) and L-carnosine (5 g) were added to filtered deionized water and mixed until visually clear, indicating dissolution. The mixture was poured into 10ml bottles, each fitted with a dropper cap. Calculated by weight percentage, the eye drops contain the following components:

[0080] Purified deionized water 91.74wt.%

[0081] MSM 4.95wt.%

[0082] Disodium EDTA 2.39wt.%

[0083] L-Carnosine 0.92wt.%.

Embodiment 2

[0085] The therapeutic effect of Formulation 1 was evaluated by four subjects, males aged 52 to 84, regardless of race. Subject 1 was in his fifties with no vision problems or detectable ocular abnormalities. Subjects 2 and 3 were in their fifties with prominent corneal senile rings in both eyes, but no other adverse ocular pathology (senile rings are generally considered a cosmetic defect). Subject 4 was in his octogenarians, suffered from cataracts and Salzmann's tumor, and reported extreme photophobia and glare problems. Subject had difficulty reading newspapers, reading books, and viewing information on computer screens due to glare and reduced clarity of vision.

[0086] All subjects were administered the formulation, one drop (approximately 0.04 mL) per eye, 2 to 4 times daily, for more than 12 months. During and after this 12-month period, all subjects were examined by an ophthalmologist. No side effects other than mild irritation upon application of the formulation ...

Embodiment 3

[0096] The second eye drop preparation of the present invention, preparation 2 is prepared by the following method:

[0097] High-purity deionized (DI) water (500 mL) was filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. MSM (13.5 g), EDTA (6.5 g) and L-carnosine (5.0 g) were added to filtered DI water and mixed until visibly clear, indicating dissolution. The mixture was poured into a 10 mL vial with a drop cap. Based on weight percent, the eye drop composition has the following components:

[0098] Purified deionized water 95.24wt.%

[0099] MSM 2.57wt.%

[0100] Disodium EDTA 1.24wt.%

[0101] L-Carnosine 0.95wt.%.

Abstract

An ophthalmic formulation is provided for the prevention and treatment of adverse ocular conditions, including presbyopia, arcus senilis, age-related macular degeneration, and other conditions associated with aging. The formulation is also useful in the prevention and treatment of other adverse ocular conditions such as those associated with oxidative and / or free radical damage within the eye; these conditions can involve a condition, disease, or disorder of the cornea, retina, lens, sclera, anterior segment, or posterior segment of the eye. In one embodiment, the formulation contains at least0.6 wt. % of a biocompatible chelating agent, an effective permeation enhancing amount of an ophthalmic permeation enhancer such as methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an anti-AGE agent, i.e., a compound that serves to reduce the presence of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in the eye, and a pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic carrier suited to the particular formulation type (e.g., eye drops orointments). Preferred components of the formulation are multifunctional and naturally occurring.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the treatment of ocular disorders, ocular diseases and other adverse ocular conditions. In particular, the present invention relates to ophthalmic formulations for the prevention and treatment of adverse ocular conditions, including those age-related ocular conditions. The invention also relates to the use of the formulations for improving vision and eye aesthetics. Accordingly, the present invention has applications in various fields, including ophthalmology, geriatrics and cosmetology. Background technique [0002] Gradual changes in the eye with age, both normal and pathological, are generally unwelcome but an inevitable part of the long lifespan of humans and other mammals. The changes seriously affect the function and aesthetics of the eye. These changes include: cataracts; hardening, clouding, loss of toughness, and yellowing of the lens; yellowing and clouding of the cornea; presbyopia; closure of tr...
