ABSTRACT:
A calcium-based ophthalmic composition for treating dry eye is disclosed. The composition includes a hydrophobic carrier such as petrolatum and a calcium salt. The composition can further include a polyol such as glycerol, and an agent such as anhydrous lanolin, to enhance the interface between the carrier, and the calcium salt and polyol. Also disclosed is a method for treating dry eye comprising the step of administering the composition according to the present invention by placing the composition on the lateral portion of the lower eyelid margin. This method allows the composition to gradually disperse onto the cornea and conjunctiva.
