Abstract
Formulations (e.g., solutions) comprising one or more water-soluble polymer(s), liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, are provided. The provided solutions are useful for rinsing, and/or immersing therein, a contact lens and/or in the treatment of ocular discomfort, for example, an ocular discomfort associated with a contact lens. Also provided are kits comprising the solution and a contact lens; articles-of-manufacturing comprising the solution and configured for dispending the solution; and methods utilizing the solution.
Claims29
A method of reducing a friction coefficient of a surface of a contact lens, the method comprising rinsing and/or immersing the contact lens in a solution comprising at least one water-soluble polymer, liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, wherein a concentration of phospholipids of said liposomes in the solution is in a range of from 0.5 mM to 500 mM.
A kit comprising at least one contact lens and a solution comprising at least one water-soluble polymer, liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, wherein a concentration of phospholipids of said liposomes in the solution is in a range of from 0.5 mM to 500 mM.
A method of treating ocular discomfort in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising ophthalmically administering to the subject an effective amount of a solution comprising at least one water-soluble polymer, liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, wherein a concentration of phospholipids of said liposomes in the solution is in a range of from 0.5 mM to 500 mM.
