The present invention provides an aqueous ophthalmic solution having an effective amount of ketorolac which includes carboxymethyl cellulose in an aqueous solution wherein the concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose is selected to provide an increased absorption of ketorolac in the eye of a patient that is at least 130% greater than the absorption of a comparative aqueous ketorolac ophthalmic solution having the same concentration of ketorolac.

The present invention relates to a method for treating asthenopia, accommodative dysfunction or ocular pain comprising an administration of a specific prostaglandin compound to a mammalian subject. The present invention also relates to a composition for treating asthenopia, accommodative dysfunction or ocular pain comprising a specific prostaglandin compound.

The present discovery pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present discovery pertains to certain di-isopropyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes as described herein, DIPA-1-5, DIPA-1-6, DIPA-1-7, DIPA-1-8, and DIPA-1-9, collectively referred to herein as “DIPA compounds”, that are useful, for example, in the treatment of disorders (e.g., diseases) including: sensory discomfort (e.g., caused by irritation, itch, or pain); a skin dysesthesia; dermatitis; ocular pain and discomfort; heat discomfort; heat stress; flushing and / or night sweats (vasomotor symptoms); post-operative hypothermia; post-anaesthetic shivering; fatigue; tiredness; depression; cognitive dysfunction; and to enhance cognitive function. The applicant has found that localized delivery of DIPA compounds to the upper eyelid and / or facial skin has an alerting and enhancement effect on behavior and can be used to give a cosmetic refreshing look, to mental alertness, to reduce fatigue, and to improve work output. The present discovery also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, for example, in therapy, in diagnosis of neuropathic pain, and in study of TRPM8 function.

The present invention relates generally to the use of compositions and methods for treating nociceptive events that occur on the ocular surface in association with dryness, injury, environmental pollutants, and infectious and non-infectious diseases. Specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of certain compounds for treating for treating ocular pain or ocular discomfort.

The invention provides methods of treating or preventing an ocular disease or disorder in a subject, methods of treating or preventing ocular pain or discomfort comprising, administering to the subject a composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a pharmaceutically effective amount of a transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) antagonist. In certain preferred embodiments, the ocular disease or disorder is a dry eye disease.

The present invention provides diisopropylphosphonoalkanes as topical agents for the treatment of sensory discomfort. The present invention relates generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically, the present invention relates to certain diisopropylphosphonoalkanes as described herein: DIPA-1-5, DIPA-1-6, DIPA-1-7, DIPA-1-8, and DIPA-1-9, which are collectively referred to herein as' DIPA compounds', as well as to the use of diisopropylphosphonoalkanes, such as diisopropylphosphonoalkanes, such as diisopropylphosphonoalkanes, such as diisopropylphosphonoalkanes. These diisopropylphosphono alkanes are useful, for example, in the treatment of disorders including sensory discomfort, skin retardation, dermatitis, ocular pain and discomfort, thermal discomfort, thermal stress, redness and / or night sweat, post-operative hypothermia, post-anesthesia shivering, fatigue, exhaustion, depression, cognitive dysfunction, and are useful for enhancing cognitive function.
