Abstract
Use of topically applied cyclosporine to enhance corneal sensitivity restoration rate in an eye of an individual after ocular surgery such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in which nerves are severed.
Claims19
A method of enhancing the rate of restoration of corneal sensitivity in an eye of an individual after refractive surgery, the method comprising
- topically administering cyclosporine to an eye of an individual having loss of corneal sensation after refractive surgery on the eye under conditions of at least daily dosing intervals in a therapeutic regimen for a duration sufficient to provide an enhanced rate of restoration of corneal sensitivity in the individual after refractive surgery, and assessing the enhanced rate of restoration of post-surgical corneal sensitivity.
