Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to ophthalmic formulations wherein a synergistic combination of three different classes of disinfectants (a multimeric biguanide compound, a quaternary ammonium compound and an antifungal/anti-acanthamoeba compound, in particular a combination of polyhexamethylene biguanide, Polyquaternium-1 and myristamidopropyl dimethylamine) enables the use of high concentrations of hyaluronate for providing better comfort and support of corneal health without compromising antimicrobial efficacy. The novel ophthalmic formulations support the use of more than 7.5 times higher concentrations of hyaluronate than are present in currently marketed multi-purpose disinfection solutions.
