Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems : An Update
Drugs developed and approved for systemic disease are reinvestigated for ocular disease. However, developing new drugs with good intraocular penetration by considering the anatomical and physiological constraints exerted by the various barriers of eye is

DNA nanoparticles for ophthalmic drug delivery [PDF]
Nucleic acids represent very appealing building blocks for the construction of nano-scaled objects with great potential applications in the field of drug delivery where multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) play a pivotal role. One opportunity for DNA nanotechnology lies in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases as the efficacy of eye drops is impaired by ...

Improvements in Topical Ocular Drug Delivery Systems: Hydrogels and Contact Lenses
Conventional ophthalmic systems present very low corneal systemic bioavailability due to the nasolacrimal drainage and the difficulty to deliver the drug in the posterior segment of ocular tissue.

Diffusion through the ex vivo vitreal body - bovine, porcine, and ovine models are poor surrogates for the human vitreous [PDF]
© 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.The human vitreous humour is a complex gel structure whose composition and physical properties can vary considerably from person to person and also change with age. To date, the viscoelastic properties of the

Recent Advances in Ophthalmic Drug Delivery [PDF]
Topical ocular drug bioavailability is notoriously poor, in the order of 5% or less. This is a consequence of effective multiple barriers to drug entry, comprising nasolacrimal drainage, epithelial drug transport barriers and clearance from the vasculature in the conjunctiva.

Moxifloxacin releasing intraocular implant based on a cross-linked hyaluronic acid membrane
Intraocular antibiotic delivery is an important technique to prevent bacterial infection after ophthalmic surgery, such as cataract surgery. Conventional drug delivery methods, such as antibiotic eye drops, have limitations for intraocular drug delivery ...
