ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of treating an eye disorder. The methods comprise a step of locally administering aClostridialtoxin to the eye of a patient to treat the disorder. The eye disorder may be associated with an inflammation of the eye, including for example, bacterial conjunctivitis, fungal conjunctivitis, viral conjunctivitis, uveitis, keratic precipitates, macular edema, and inflammation response after intra-ocular lens implantation. TheClostridialtoxin may be produced by aClostridial beratti, aClostridia butyricum, aClostridial tetanibacterium and/or aClostridial botulinum.
