The present invention relates to a contact lens for diagnosis and treatment of dry eye syndrome. The contact lens, according to the present invention, may diagnose dry eye syndrome by means of a change in an electric current occurring as a result of a field effect when a dry eye syndrome biomarker binds to a probe, and when dry eye syndrome is diagnosed, generates an electric current so that a gold film blocking a drug reservoir melts by the electric current, thereby enabling the release of a drug to be controlled.

Formulations for treating ocular surface diseases, such as dry eye disease, and related methods are disclosed. The formulations include and effective amount of ambroxol or a chemical derivative thereof (for example, bromhexine) that may be dispersed in a carrier and may optionally include a biocompatible polymer to provide extended release properties.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating ophthalmic conditions.

The invention provides compositions and methods of treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome wherein they do not irritate an eye of a human patient who is in need thereof. In particular the invention provides methylglyoxal and Manuka honey in ratios and grades that relieve symptoms and causes of DES without causing irritation to the affected eye(s).

A method for treating an eye disease of an affected eye includes administering to the affected eye of a subject in need of such treatment a steroidal-androgen-free composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of beta-cyclodextrin derivative. The eye disease can be meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, or dry eye disease. A steroidal-androgen-free composition includes a beta-cyclodextrin derivative as a sole active pharmaceutical ingredient. The steroidal-androgen-free composition is an ophthalmic composition.
