摘要:
Infections of body tissues, particularly of the eye or of wounds, are treated by brief low-intensity irradiation with ultraviolet radiation in the UVC band. A suitable treatment device contains a light-emitting diode producing UVC radiation at a wavelength of about 265 nm, at a power output of 5 mW, directed on to a zone of tissue about 4 mm in diameter. An optical aiming system indicates the zone of tissue to be irradiated. Irradiation for periods as brief as 1 second has been found effective, which equates to a dose of 4 mJ/cm2 delivered to the tissue. Longer periods and higher intensities may be used for more resistant infections. Such irradiation may be delivered endoscopically to treat internal infections or to prevent infection during surgery. The device may be hand held or mounted to an ophthalmic slit lamp or other support.

摘要:
A medicament for treating inflammation of human or animal body tissues contains a steroid, typically a corticosteroid, in combination with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), typically a cyclooxygenase (COX-1 or COX-2) inhibitor. The medicament is of a particular effectiveness in treating inflammation of and around the eyes, whether caused by infection, irritation or surgery. Further medicaments combine an NSAID with antihistamines or with mast cell stabilisers. The medicaments are particularly effective in topically-applicable form, although other forms of application should also show benefits.

摘要:
Aqueous compositions suitable for topical administration to the human or animal eye contain at least one water-soluble polymeric ophthalmic lubricant, such as hyaluronate, carbomer gel or hypromellose, together with a water-soluble analgesic. The analgesic may be an opiod, particularly an opioid having an affinity for 5-HT receptors, such as tramadol. Typical tramadol levels would be in the range of 0.5% to 1.0% w/v. The aqueous compositions may for example be used as artificial tears, and as general ophthalmic lubricants for treating conditions such as dry eye or blepharitis. Further compositions combine ophthalmologically-active agents, such as pharmaceuticals, with opioids, such as tramadol in particular. These compositions may be used to treat the eye while reducing pain or discomfort that would normally be produced by administering these particular pharmaceuticals to the eye, and increasing the efficacy of the pharmaceuticals. Compositions are also disclosed, containing opioids with 5-HT receptor activity, which are of general use in alleviating pain in and around the eye.
