The invention concerns topical compositions for the prevention and treatment of ocular pathologies, in particular inflammatory keratites and conjunctivites and dry eye syndrome, containing as active ingredients polyunsaturated fatty acids of the types omega-3 and omega-6, and specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and GLA (γ-linolenic acid), mixed with vitamin E acetate and formulated in a stable composition in hydrogel, i.e. in dispersed form in an aqueous vehicle containing one or more gelling polymers. The proposed compositions are particularly indicated for use as artificial tears.
