Claims28
A method of decreasing the foveal retina thickness in a mammal with macular edema comprising instilling an emulsion eye drop containing an effective amount of difluprednate to an eye of the mammal, wherein the concentration of difluprednate in the eye drop is 0.05% (w/v).
A method of decreasing the foveal retina thickness in a mammal with macular edema comprising instilling an emulsion eye drop containing an effective amount of difluprednate to an eye of the mammal, wherein the concentration of difluprednate in the eye drop is 0.05% (w/v), wherein the emulsion eye drop further comprises castor oil, polysorbate 80, concentrated glycerin, sodium acetate, boric acid, sodium edetate, sorbic acid and sterile purified water.
A method of improving the visual acuity in a mammal with macular edema comprising instilling an emulsion eye drop containing an effective amount of difluprednate to an eye of the mammal, wherein the concentration of difluprednate in the eye drop is 0.05% (w/v).
