RESULTS:
[0027] Five human males suffering from GvHD-related dry eye were treated with one drop of Formulation A bilaterally twice daily. Subjective relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained within half an hour. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After 3 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared. [0028] Two human females suffering from diabetes-related dry eye were treated with one drop of Formulation C bilaterally twice daily. Relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained within an hour. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After 5 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared.
[0029] A human female suffering from diabetes-related dry eye was treated with one drop of Formulation B bilaterally once every other day. Relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained within twenty minutes. The patient required subsequent application once every other day. After 10 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared. Maintenance continued with administration once every other day.
[0030] A human male suffering from a viral eye infection with corneal ulcer was treated with one drop of Formulation B bilaterally twice daily. Exudation ceased within 8 hours. The patient required subsequent application twice daily. After 4 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared, and the eye was completely healed within 5 days.
[0031] A human male suffering in one eye from pterygium, with related dry eye and pink eye, was treated with one drop of Formulation B twice daily. Relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained within one day. The patient required subsequent application twice daily. After 10 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared. After 6 weeks of use, the ptyregium shrank by about half its size, and continued to decrease in size with ongoing use.
[0032] A human female suffering in one eye from pterygium, with related dry eye and inflammation, was treated with one drop of Formulation C twice daily. Relief from the dry- eye symptoms was attained within two days. The patient required subsequent application twice daily. After 8 weeks of use, the ptyregium shrank by about half its size, and continued to decrease in size with ongoing use.
[0033] A human male suffering from a deep corneal ulcer with stromal involvement in one eye was treated with one drop of Formulation A three times daily. Relief from pain and irritation was attained within 24 hours. The patient required subsequent application twice daily. After 7 days of use, the cornea had completely reepithelialized.
[0034] Three females suffering from diabetes-related corneal anesthesia (neurotrophic keratopathy) were treated with one drop of Formulation C daily. Symptoms of corneal anesthesia began improving within 2-3 days. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After about 3 weeks of use, the patients reported complete relief of symptoms.
[0035] One male suffering from diabetes-related neovascularization was treated with one drop of Formulation A twice daily. When examined after 4 weeks of use, the abnormal vessels were no longer visible by slit-lamp examination.
[0036] Two human males suffering from a viral eye infection with corneal abrasion (i.e., the onset of a corneal ulcer) were treated with one drop of Formulation A bilaterally twice daily. Exudation ceased within 5 hours. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After 2-3 days of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared, and the eyes were completely healed within 5-6 days.
[0037] A human female suffering from a corneal ulcer in one eye was treated with one drop of Formulation A twice daily. Relief from pain and irritation was attained within one day. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After 7 days of use, the ulcer had healed completely.
[0038] Four human males suffering from diabetes-related dry eye were treated with one drop of Formulation A bilaterally twice daily. Relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained on average within half an hour. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After an average of one week of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) completely disappeared.
[0039] Two females suffering from diabetes-related corneal anesthesia were treated with one drop of Formulation A daily. Symptoms of corneal anesthesia started improving within 2 days. After approximately one week of use, the patients reported complete relief of symptoms.
[0040] A human male suffering from diabetes-related neovascularization was treated with one drop of Formulation C twice daily. The patient required subsequent application twice daily.

[0041] Six human patients suffering from GvHD-related dry eye were treated with one drop of Formulation C bilaterally twice daily. Relief from the dry-eye symptoms was attained within one hour. The patients required subsequent application twice daily. After an average of one week of use, redness in the eye (or pink eye) disappeared.
[0042] A human male suffering from anterior uveitis in both eyes was treated with one drop of Formulation C three times daily. Relief from pain was attained within three days. Blurred vision was resolved within 7 days. Inflammation appeared to be completely resolved within 14 days. The patient continued subsequent application twice daily to maintain remission.
