Method to use transdermal administration of androgens to the adnexa of the eye
This invention relates to a method for treating dry eye or increasing contact lens wear time through the transdermal delivery of androgenic hormones to the adnexa of the eye. More specifically, an androgenic hormone such as testosterone or dehydroepiandrosterone is solubilized in pharmaceutically effective carrier such as a facial cream or gel. The androgenic hormone in a pharmaceutically effective carrier is applied to the adnexa of the eye, which is the tissue adjacent to and surrounding the eyeball.
