Methods of treating a subject suffering from an ocular infection and/or ocular inflammation are disclosed. The methods include administering to an eye of a subject in need thereof a composition comprising at least two active agents in an ophthalmically acceptable vehicle that can provide a sustained release of the at least two active agents. Advantageously, the composition does not result in a statistically significant elevation in intraocular pressure in a statistically significant number of subject eyes when administered twice daily over a period of two weeks.

The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting a plurality of pathogens from biologically-derived samples, and a kit for carrying out the method. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting a plurality of pathogens that cause infectious uveitis, one of eye infections from samples such as anterior chamber fluid or vitreous by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and a kit for carrying out the method.

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions (or delivering a therapeutic agent, treating a neovascularization disorder, and treating an ocular infection include make use of a compound that includes an clastin-likc polypeptide (ELP) coupled to a therapeutic agent, wherein the ELP comprises at least one repeat of the amino acid sequence VPGXG (SEQ ID NO: 1), and where the composition is suitable for ocular administration.

Instillation of a 1.5% (w/v) levofloxacin ophthalmic solution three times a day, which is the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention, has features to cure bacterial conjunctivitis in a shorter time than instillation of a 0.5% (w/v) ophthalmic solution three times a day, which is the conventional dosage or dose regimen, and not to increase the rate of occurrence of side effects. Curing the ocular infection in a short time leads to shortening of the duration of exposure of the ocular-infection-causing bacterium to levofloxacin. Therefore, the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention is eventually expected to suppress emergence of the resistant bacterium resulting from the long-term use of the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the conventional dosage or dose regimen. In addition, it is confirmed that the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention directly inhibits the ocular-infection-causing bacterium such as Staphylococcus aureus from becoming resistant to levofloxacin, which results from the short-term use of the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the conventional dosage or dose regimen.

Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) agonist mediated protection of the eye is described. The protection can reduce dry eye and ocular infections, particularly in individuals with reduced NK1R activity.
