Abstract
The invention relates to a method for treating or preventing ocular swelling and corneal-conjunctival inflammation. This is accomplished by administering to the eye of a subject, either before or after exposure to an ocular swelling stimulus, an amount of a heme oxygenase inducing agent sufficient to increase levels of heme oxygenase in the eye and thereby to reduce or to regulate the amount of 12(R) hydroxyeicosatetraenoic and 12(R) DiHETE acids present. Particularly preferred agents include stannous compounds, such as SnCl.sub.2, other metals, heme derivatives and Vitamin B12. These compounds may be administered in various forms.
