Ophthalmic compositions comprising an oil-in water emulsion, preferably a self-emulsifying oil-in water emulsion, including an oily component, an aqueous component and a surfactant component. The surfactant component may include three or more surfactants, for example, a polyoxyalkalene alkylene ether, a polyalkylene oxide ether of alkyl alcohol and a polyalkylene oxide ether of alkylphenol. The present compositions may include therapeutic components. Methods of making such compositionbs and using such compositions, for example, to treat eyes, to treat contact lenses and to provide desired therapeutic effects are provided. |
