Abstract

A method provides for changing the refractive power of an eye, and includes the step of selecting a dioptic correction for an eye without compromise for regression of refractive power due to biological response to a change in corneal profile, changing the corneal profile of the eye in order to change the refractive power of the eye to the selected dioptic, (e.g. by laser of surgical procedures) and limiting regression in corneal profile due to the undesired biological response at about the selected diopter by applying to the corneal composition comprising an agent for controlling the biological response. The agent comprised in the composition may be a steroid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent or a basement membrane component. The change in the refractive power is intended to achieve emmetropia. The method of the present invention allows the correction of refractive/focusing disorders of the eye such as myopia, hyperopia, (a)stigmatism (etc.).

Claims

30AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 8 September 1998 (08.09.98); original claims 1-39 replaced by new claims 1-9 (2 pages)]
Claim 1. A composition comprising an agent for controlling biological response having properties enabling a change in the refractive power of an eye by selecting a dioptic correction for an eye without compromise for regression of refractive power due to biological response to a change in corneal profile, changing the corneal profile of the eye in order to change the refractive power of the eye to the selected dioptic, and limiting regression in corneal profile in order to maintain the refractive power to about the selective diopter by applying to the cornea the composition before changing the corneal profile.
Claim 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the changing of the corneal profile includes a change in the refractive power of at least six diopters.
Claim 3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the change in the refractive power causes emmetropia.
Claim 4. The composition according to claim 1 wherein said agent comprises a steroid.
Claim 5. The composition according to claim 4 wherein the steroid is present at a concentration of about 0.1 to about 4.0 wt. %.
Claim 6. The composition according to claim 5 wherein the steroid is selected from the group consisting of decamethasone, prednisolone, prednisone, fluorometholone, rimexolone, medrysone, betamethasone, triamcinolone and hydrocortisone. 31
Claim 7. The composition according to claim 1 wherein said agent comprises a basement membrane component.
Claim 8. The composition according to claim 1 wherein said agent comprises a non-steroidal antiinflammatory.
Claim 9. The composition according to claim 8 wherein the non-steroidal antiinflammatory is selected from the group consisting of flurbiprofen, suprofen, mefenamic acid, flufenamic acid, clonixin, flufenamic acid, clonixin, flufenisal, ibufenac, 4-(t-butyl) benzeneacetic acid, ibuprofen, alkylofenac, fenoprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, tol etin, ketoprofen, namoxyrate, ketorolac and loxoprofen.
STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19
In response to an International Search Report, mailed 8 July 1998, the Applicant has limited the scope of the claims to the composition of the invention. No new matter is added by this amendment as the new claims correspond to originally filed claims as indicated in the letter accompanying the replacement pages. The present amendment replacing claims does not affect the original description or the original drawings.
