Ocular Pharmacology and Drug Transport

Delivering drugs to the ophthalmic area is challenging due to protective barriers and drainage mechanisms. Advanced delivery systems, including eye drops, gels, implants, nanoparticles, ocular inserts, iontophoresis, and in situ forming systems, are designed to enhance drug bioavailability, prolong retention time, and reduce systemic side effects, ensuring safe and effective treatment for conditions like glaucoma, retinal disorders, infections, macular degeneration, and post-surgical inflammation. Ophthalmic therapies ensures sterility, biocompatibility, and sustained release.
