1. A composition comprising:
- a. from about 10 ppm to about 1000 ppm of a polyquaternium compound having a weight average molecular weight of from about 150 to about 15,000 Daltons;
b. from about 0.001% to about 0.5% of an anionic polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from about 250 to about 4,000,000 Daltons; and
c. an effective amount of an organic acid, salts thereof or mixtures thereof, such that the organic acid binds with the polyquaternium compound at at least a 1;
1 molar ratio;
wherein the composition is substantially free of cationic oligomer compounds and precipitation inhibiting compounds and further wherein the composition is in the form of a spray or mist and is ophthalmically suitable for application to a subject'"'"'s eye.
