This invention provides a method whereby a vaccine, particularly a vaccine based on a prophylactic or therapeutic AIDS/HIV vaccine, or other immune-reactive substance is administered to produce an immunologic response that decreases intraocular pressure or has a neuro-protective effect beneficial in the treatment of glaucoma patients. The invention may also be used as a provocative test to diagnose glaucoma as well as identify those patients at risk for developing glaucoma. The invention may also be used to prevent the development of glaucoma in patients deemed to be at high risk of developing glaucoma, such as glaucoma suspects or ocular hypertensive patients.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions and methods of administering oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions. The present invention also encompasses methods for making and administering the oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions for use in treating or ameliorating pathologic conditions, complications, diseases and symptoms related to hypoxia of the anterior eye structure, including corneal neovascularization (CNV), edema, abrasions, infections, infiltrates, dry eye syndrome, contact lens intolerance; and redness, blurred vision, discomfort, foreign body sensation, photophobia, and irritation.
Oxygenated Ophthalmic Compositions And Methods Of Use
The present invention relates to oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions and methods of administering oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions. The present invention also encompasses methods for making and administering the oxygenated ophthalmic topical compositions for use in treating or ameliorating pathologic conditions, complications, diseases and symptoms related to hypoxia of the anterior eye structure, including corneal neovascularization (CNV), edema, abrasions, infections, infiltrates, dry eye syndrome, contact lens intolerance; and redness, blurred vision, discomfort, foreign body sensation, photophobia, and irritation.
Vaccination And Immunotherapy As New Therapeutic Modalities In The Treatment Of Glaucoma
This invention provides a method whereby a vaccine, particularly a vaccine based on a prophylactic or therapeutic AIDS/HIV vaccine, or other immune-reactive substance is administered to produce an immunologic response that decreases intraocular pressure or has a neuro-protective effect beneficial in the treatment of glaucoma patients. The invention may also be used as a provocative test to diagnose glaucoma as well as identify those patients at risk for developing glaucoma. The invention may also be used to prevent the development of glaucoma in patients deemed to be at high risk of developing glaucoma, such as glaucoma suspects or ocular hypertensive patients.
The current invention is an ophthalmic composition that combines multiple agents necessary to perform a routine eye examination. Preferably, the composition is a mixture of a topical local anesthetic, a pupillary dilating agent, and a dye, all in solution. The composition may also include a preservative, a wetting agent, a diluting agent, and/or a buffer. The preferred composition provides a means to: 1) anesthetize the cornea to allow for pain relief, manipulation and the measurement of intraocular pressure, 2) dye the cornea and conjunctiva to allow for the detection of pathology and for the measurement of intraocular pressure, and 3) dilate the pupil to allow for examination of the optic nerve, macula, retina, retinal vasculature, and peripheral fundus. In addition, the invention includes a method of using the inventive composition and a method of using currently available compositions that allow for a more rapid eye examination by eliminating or reducing a waiting period that follows the administration of dilating agents according to the present state of the art. Moreover, the inventive composition may be used pre-operatively before ophthalmic surgery, thereby conferring many of the same advantages as described above.
