An ophthalmic composition for treating and conditioning damaged tissues of the region of the eye which contains ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol, i.e., a vitamin D, as the active ingredient. An ophthalmic composition for preventing and treating disturbed metabolism in eye tissues which comprises a vitamin D or an active vitamin D as the active ingredient. An ophthalmic composition or a dermatological composition for protecting the skin or eyes from harmful UV radiation which comprises a vitamin D or a vitamin K as the active ingredient. The ophthalmic composition normalizes the transparency or refraction of the eyeballs when administered to the region of the eye. When administered similarly, the ophthalmic composition further contributes to the amendment, healing or prevention of symptoms due to disturbed metabolism in eye tissues. The dermatological composition protect the skin form harmful UV radiation. It also protects the scalp from harmful UV radiation to thereby relieve depilation. A cosmetic applied to the skin would inhibit the synthesis of vitamin Ds in the skin. It is, therefore, possible to supply vitamin Ds to the skin by applying the vitamin D-containing dermatological composition to a cosmetic. |
