Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004060348
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a trophic composition in an aqueous medium comprising a complex nutritive base. The aforementioned base comprises, as a minimum, multiple amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and metallic salts, and is free of any cell growth factors, any biological extracts of animal or cell origin and any active therapeutic agents. The inventive composition is characterised in that, in addition to the complex nutritive base, it also comprises an inhibitor of the collagenases of corneal epithelium in humans or animals. The composition is further characterised in that it is formulated with the complex nutritive base in order to establish a pH of between 7.3 and 7.5 and an osmolarity of between 300 and 350 m Osm.
