Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the discovery that certain ocular diseases may be treated using Edonentan crystalline forms. Specific Edonentan crystalline form can be used alone or in combination with an intra-ocular pressure (TOP) reducing agent, a neuroprotective agent, or an anti-VEGF agent. Using Edonentan crystalline forms, alone or in combination with an additional agent, provides increased perfusion to the retina or reduced IOP in certain ocular diseases and reduces damage to retinal cells.
