The present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising viable spores of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains for controlling or reducing mite infestations, such as the control and reduction of infestations produced by Dermanyssus gallinae (poultry red mite).

Described herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of contact lens discomfort (CLD) and/or lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE). Such compositions comprise keratolytic agents, such as salicylic acid, selenium disulfide, or the like. Topical administration of such compositions to the inner surface of the eyelid provides therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from contact lens discomfort (CLD) and/or lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE).

A transdermal permeation enhancing composition, consisting of 65 wt %-98 wt % of white vaseline and 2 wt %-35 wt % of wax substance. The wax substance is selected from one or more of light liquid paraffin and white beeswax. The transdermal permeation enhancing composition is used for improving the transdermal absorption effect of timolol.
