Ophthalmic composition comprising xanthan gum and glucose
The present invention provides an ophthalmic composition containing xanthan gum and glucose, which has a superior corneal epithelial disorder-treating effect.
1. An ophthalmic composition comprising xanthan gum and glucose, wherein the concentration of the xanthan gum therein is 0.05-0.5 w/v % and the concentration of the glucose therein is 0.001-0.1 w/v %.
2. The ophthalmic composition of claim 1 , which is used for the treatment of a corneal epithelial disorder.
3. The ophthalmic composition of claim 2 , wherein the corneal epithelial disorder is a disorder in a corneal epithelial cell.
4. The ophthalmic composition of claim 1 , which is used for protecting a corneal epithelial cell.
5. The ophthalmic composition of claim 1 , which is an eye drop.
6. A method of treating a corneal epithelial disorder, which comprises a step of administering effective amounts of xanthan gum and glucose to a human or an animal other than a human in need of the treatment,
wherein the concentration of the xanthan gum is 0.05-0.5 w/v %, and the concentration of the glucose is 0.001-0.1 w/v %.
7. A method of protecting a corneal epithelial cell, which comprises a step of administering effective amounts of xanthan gum and glucose to a human or an animal other than a human in need of the protection,
wherein the concentration of the xanthan gum is 0.05-0.5 w/v %, and the concentration of the glucose is 0.001-0.1 w/v %.
