  • Publication number: 20230149337
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmic formulation in form of an oil-in-water microemulsion comprising oil particles dispersed in a continuous water phase and its uses. The formulation comprises 0.01-20.0 weight-%, preferably 0.1-2.0 weight-%, of a natural oil comprising triglycerides which comprise >50 weight-% of unsaturated fatty acid(s) with an aliphatic chain length of 16-20 carbon atoms, and at least a first non-ionic emulsifier and a second non-ionic emulsifier. Both the first non-ionic emulsifier and the second non-ionic emulsifier comprise at least one structural unit with an aliphatic chain length of 16-20 carbon atoms originating from an unsaturated fatty acid. The formulation has a surface tension in a range of 40-43 mN/m at an emulsion-air interface at a temperature of 15-30° C.
