FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of depositing lutein and/or zeaxanthin in eye tissues, as well as a method of treating, relieving or preventing ocular disease or functional disorder. Method for deposition of lutein and/or zeaxanthin involves steps of producing a liposome containing lutein and/or zeaxanthin in amounts effective to increase levels of the macular pigment in eye tissues of a subject, charging the iontophoresis device with a liposome composition containing lutein and/or zeaxanthin, applying the iontophoresis device on the subject's eye and bringing the iontophoresis device into action.EFFECT: technical result is developing a minimally invasive method of moving high concentrations of charged lutein through sclera and/or through the cornea by iontophoresis.6 cl, 5 tbl, 4 dwg, 2 ex |
