Abstract: Methods for the treatment of patients suffering from dry eyes, by using adrenergic beta-receptor agonists, particularly salbutamol and in particular the optically pure or substantially pure R-enantiomer thereof. The embodiments disclosed herein include methods of increasing the Meibomian lipid secretion and thereby reducing or eliminating xerophthalmia symptoms by the administration of formulations containing therapeutically effective amounts of an adrenergic beta-receptor agonist to said patients. In particular, certain embodiments disclosed herein concern compositions that contain R-salbutamol as the active beta-receptor stimulating ingredient. In certain embodiments, the formulations are administered to the ocular surface of the eye and/or to the eyelid (the underside of the eyelid and/or the top of the eyelid) of a patient in need thereof.
