Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an ophthalmic emulsion. The emulsion has a unique combination of ingredients that promotes the stability of small oil droplets within the emulsion. The emulsion also includes a mucoadhesive polymer that aid in delivering a lipid to the ocular surface.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of forming an emulsion of  claim 1  comprising:\n forming a first admixture by mixing the oil and the surfactants at an elevated temperature to form an oil phase admixture; \n forming a second admixture by mixing the anionic phospholipid into purified water at an elevated temperature to form a water phase admixture; \n mixing the oil phase admixture and the water phase admixture at an elevated temperature and subsequently homogenizing the oil phase mixture with the water phase mixture to form an initial emulsion; and \n forming a third admixture by mixing the galactomannan polymer with water and adjusting pH as needed to form a galactomannan polymer slurry; and mixing the galactomannan polymer slurry with the initial emulsion to form a polymer enhanced emulsion; and \n forming a fourth admixture by mixing any combination of the following to form a salt solution: borate, polyol, preservative and any other ingredients; and \n mixing the salt solution with the enhanced emulsion followed by the addition of a sufficient quantity (Q.S.) of water and pH adjustment.
