Abstract: The invention provides compositions comprising omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters, specifically compositions that are based on semifluorinated alkanes. The compositions of the present invention may be topical ophthalmic compositions useful in the treatment of ocular diseases or conditions. The invention further provides kits comprising such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drop dispenser (1), comprising: —a container part (1B) with an interior volume adapted to be partially filled with a liquid phase (2) and a gaseous phase (3) filling the remainder of the interior volume at ambient pressure, the container part (1B) having a displaceable section (1C), and —a dropper part (1A) in physical connection and in fluid communication with the interior volume of the container part (1B), comprising an outflow channel (5), connecting the interior volume of the container part (1B) to the environment; wherein the outflow channel (5) comprises —a first section (5a) having a proximal end (5ap) and a distal end (5ad), each end having the same or different inner diameter selected independently from each other in the range of 0.09 to 0.19 mm; and —a second section (5b) having a proximal end (5bp) and a distal end (5bd); the proximal end (5bp) having an inner diameter in the range of 1 to 3 mm; the distal end (5bd) having an inner diameter in the range of 0.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for topical administration of ophthalmic compositions in a dropwise manner, preferably for topical administration of ophthalmic compositions comprising semifluorinated alkanes (SFAs). Further, the present invention relates to the use of said methods in the prevention or treatment of ocular diseases or disorders or any symptoms or conditions associated therewith. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a kit comprising a drop dispenser at least partially filled with a liquid composition for the use in such a method and directions for use of said drop dispenser.
