The present invention provides composition, methods, and articles of manufacture for treating an eye disorder, e.g., a disorder characterized by macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, or retinal neovascularization. One method of the invention comprises the step of: administering first and second therapeutic agents to the subject's eye in a single procedure, wherein the first therapeutic agent provides rapid improvement in the condition of the subject's eye and the second therapeutic agent is administered as a sustained release formulation of the second therapeutic agent. For example, the first and second therapeutic agents are administered by intravitreal injection. The first therapeutic agent may be dissolved in a liquid medium located in the syringe and the sustained formulation of the second therapeutic agent may comprise an ocular implant or plurality of particles located in the needle. The therapeutic agents may be selected from the group consisting of angiogenesis inhibitors and complement inhibitors.

The present invention provides compounds and methods for the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. In particular, LFA-1 antagonists are described herein and these antagonists are used in the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. One aspect of the invention provides for diagnosis of an LFA-1 mediated disease and administration of a LFA-1 antagonist, after the patient is diagnosed with a LFA-1 mediated disease. In some embodiments, the LFA-1 mediated diseases treated are dry eye disorders. Also provided herein are methods for identifying compounds which are LFA-1 antagonists.

The present invention relates to an under eye cream for the treatment of swelling, bags, wrinkles, and dark circles for the area underneath the eye.

Transcorneal and fiberoptic laser delivery systems and methods for the treatment of eye diseases wherein energy is delivered by wavelengths transparent to the cornea to effect target tissues in the eye for the control of intraocular pressure in diseases such as glaucoma by delivery systems both external to and within ocular tissues. External delivery may be effected under gonioscopic control. Internal delivery may be controlled endoscopically or fiberoptically, both systems utilizing femtosecond laser energy to excise ocular tissue. The femtosecond light energy is delivered to the target tissues to be treated to effect precisely controlled photodisruption to enable portals for the outflow of aqueous fluid in the case of glaucoma in a manner which minimizes target tissue healing responses, inflammation and scarring.

Systems and methods are provided for reducing intraocular pressure in an eye. A perpendicular incision is made through a conjunctiva of the eye to access a trabecular meshwork of the eye. Electromagnetic energy is focused through the perpendicular incision to ablate a portion of the trabecular network, where said ablation creates a channel for outflow flow of fluid through a sclera venous sinus to reduce pressure within the eye.

An intra scleral implant and method of implantation for use in the treatment of intraocular pressure and presbyopia. The implant features a body portion and protrusions from the body portion to anchor the device in a cavity formed in the scleral wall of the eye. Optionally a drug delivery function is provided to allow long term communication of drugs to tissue surrounding the implant.

The use of chemically modified dicarboxy polysaccharides for the topical treatment of the eyeball are described. The modified polysaccharides provide a carrier in solutions for the treatment of the eyeball to obtain a timed release.

Disclosed herein are drug delivery devices and methods for the treatment of ocular disorders requiring targeted and controlled administration of a drug to an interior portion of the eye for reduction or prevention of symptoms of the disorder. In several embodiments, the devices are capable of controlled release of two or more drugs, the release of each drug into a different ocular space (e.g., an ocular compartment versus an ocular fluid outflow pathway).

The invention discloses a composition for treating eye diseases by double-target / multi-target small nucleic acid and applications of the composition. The composition comprises two small nucleic acid molecules and a medicinal carrier, target genes of the two small nucleic acid molecules are selected from two of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) gene, VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor2) gene and TGF-b1 (transforming growth factor-beta1) gene; or the composition comprises three small nucleic acid molecules and a medicinal carrier, and target genes of the three small nucleic acid molecules are respectively VEGF gene, VEGFR2 gene and TGF-b1 gene. The composition can be used for effectively treating eye diseases by virtue of ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) mediated inhibitor gene expression and biochemical pathway, and can be prepared to form a medicament for treating eye diseases, including proliferatived diabetic retinophathy, diabetic macular edema, herpes simplex interstitial keratitis, age-related macular degeneration, uveitis and the like.

The current invention relates to a contact lens care solution comprising a compound suitable for treating the eye, or the contact lens, use of such compound in such contact lens care solutions, and methods for introducing such compound in the eye of a person wearing contact lenses. With the current invention damage to the eye, in particular the cornea, in particular damage to the eye, in particular the cornea, of a person wearing a contact lens, or as a consequence of wearing a contact lens is prevented or reduced. / esp.
