A contact lens treating solution includes (a) about 0.005 to about 2 wt. %, based on the total weight of the contact lens treating solution, of hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof; (b) about 0.01 to about 1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the contact lens treating solution, of erythritol; (c) one or more nonionic surfactants; (d) sodium chloride, potassium chloride or any combination thereof; and (e) one or more buffers.

A preservative-free contact lens treating solution includes (a) about 0.005 to about 2 wt. %, based on the total weight of the preservative-free contact lens treating solution, of hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof; (b) about 0.01 to about 1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the preservative-free contact lens treating solution, of erythritol; (c) one or more nonionic surfactants; (d) sodium chloride, potassium chloride or any combination thereof; and (e) one or more buffers.

Provided are compositions and methods related to modified lubricins, methods of making the modified lubricins, and methods of using the modified lubricins for coating a variety of inanimate objects, and for prophylaxis and/or therapy of disorders where enhanced lubrication of one or more parts of a human or non-human mammal is desirable.

A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device is disclosed. The packaging system comprises a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution comprising (a) one or more osmoprotectants, (b) one or more poloxamer comfort agents and (c) one or more polyol demulcents, wherein the aqueous packaging solution has an osmolality of at least about 150 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is heat sterilized.

The present disclosure relates to contact lens solution comprising cyclodextrin, ophthalmic solutions comprising cy-clodextrin for treating disorders or conditions associated with wearing of contact lenses, methods of treating such disorders or conditions using the ophthalmic cyclodextrin solutions, and kits and combination products thereof.

The invention contemplates a copolymer which is a graft or block copolymer useful to change the ocular surface temperature and other characteristics of biological or contact lens surfaces. Methods for use of these formulations and coatings to increase the temperature of the skin, mucous membranes, eye or eyelids will help treat many conditions including blepharitis and non-healing ulcers. Methods to decrease evaporation, improve wettability and stabilize the tear film, and lubricate biological surfaces in a subject, for example, in the treatment of dry eye syndrome, and to improve contact lens tolerability, are provided.

Disclosed are: a polymer for treating the surface of a medical device such as a contact lens to suppress the reduction in lubricity of the device even when the device is scrubbed; a medical device having the polymer on the surface so that the reduction in lubricity over time is suppressed; and a wetting agent containing the polymer. The polymer for treating the surface is a copolymer which is water-soluble and includes as constitutional units the following monomers A and B: monomer A: a monomer containing a (meth)acryloyl group and an ester or amide structure in a molecule, in which the ester or amide structure is not constituted by including a part of the (meth)acryloyl group; monomer B: a monomer containing a (meth)acrylamide group in a molecule and having a structure different from that of the monomer A.
