Ophthalmic solutions containing arabinogalactans with a protective activity on the corneal epithelium, particularly suitable for use as artificial tears stimulating the recovery of corneal lesions and also particularly useful for contact lens users, containing from 1% to 10% by weight of arabinogalactan in an aqueous solution and possible other excipients, among which tonicity-adjusting agents, pH correctors, buffers and preservatives, except for benzalkonium chloride. The compositions according to the invention have a virtually negligible viscosity, but are sufficiently mucoadhesive to assure a considerable permanence time in the area of application. Besides being well-tolerated, the aforesaid compositions have considerable re-epithelization capacity.

An ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition containing acetylcysteine as the active ingredient having a mucolitic action, suitable for administration in eyedrops, where N-acetyl-cysteine is neutralised with base DEAE-dextrane in order to reach pH levels preferably between 6.0 and 7.5, and having a physiologically acceptable osmolarity less than 320 mOsm/kg. The presence of a neutralising agent for N-acetyl-cysteine that does not negatively affect the composition osmolarity allows the formulation to be isotonic or even hypotonic, thus avoiding the irritative and potentially damaging effects of previous ophthalmic products containing N-acetyl-cysteine.
