## Abstract

The invention includes compositions and methods of administering the compositions to improve the condition of damaged eye tissues. The compositions include cannabinoids such as cannabidiol and one or more of human stem cell products, lutein, and N-acetyl carnosine. The compositions include components that are encapsulated and may include a mixture of separately encapsulated materials. The methods include administering the compositions as drops to an affected eye.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An eye treatment composition comprising:
a first plurality of nanocapsules;
a plurality of microcapsules;
a cannabinoid dispersed in the first plurality of nanocapsules;
N-acetyl carnosine dispersed in the plurality of microcapsules;
an aqueous carrier, the first plurality of nanocapsules and the plurality of microcapsules suspended in an aqueous carrier; and
lutein dispersed in a second plurality of nanocapsules.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method of treating an eye condition comprising applying an effective amount of the eye treatment composition of claim 1 to an affected eye.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The eye treatment composition of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of nanocapsules has a median size in the range of 50 to 250 nm, and wherein the plurality of microcapsules has a median size in the range of 500 nm to 5 μm.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The eye treatment composition of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of nanocapsules further contains a lutein co-dispersed with the cannabinoid.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The eye treatment composition of claim 1, wherein the aqueous carrier includes a vasoconstrictor and a lubricant.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The eye treatment composition of claim 5, wherein the lubricant has one or more of glycerol, polyethylene glycol 400, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or propylene glycol.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The eye treatment composition of claim 1, wherein the cannabinoid includes cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

### Claim 8

An eye treatment composition comprising:
a first plurality of nanocapsules including a cannabinoid dispersed in the first plurality of nanocapsules;
a second plurality of nanocapsules including lutein dispersed in the second plurality of nanocapsules; and
an aqueous carrier, the first plurality of nanocapsules and the second plurality of nanocapsules suspended in the aqueous carrier.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, wherein the first plurality of nanocapsules has a median size in the range of 50 to 250 nm.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, wherein the cannabinoid includes cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, further comprising an aqueous antioxidant mixed with the aqueous carrier.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, further comprising a lubricant or a vasoconstrictor mixed with the aqueous carrier.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, further comprising a stem cell conditioned medium mixed with the aqueous carrier.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The eye treatment composition of claim 8, further comprising a plurality of microcapsules encapsulating a conditioned medium, wherein the conditioned medium is derived from a culture of one or more of a human hematopoietic stem cell, a human endothelium-derived stem cell, a human adipose-derived stem cell, a human tooth mesenchyme-derived stem cell, or a human placenta-derived stem cell.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The eye treatment composition of claim 14, wherein the aqueous carrier includes a lubricant.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The eye treatment composition of claim 15, wherein the aqueous carrier includes a vasoconstrictor.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The eye treatment composition of claim 16, wherein the first plurality of nanocapsules further contains lutein co-dispersed with the cannabinoid.
