Nanoformulations and Highlights of Clinical Studies for Ocular Drug Delivery Systems: An Overview.

Several ocular drug delivery (ODD) systems, like hydrogels, microparticles, nano-emulsions, micro-emulsions, and liposomes have been researched, which can govern the drug release and sustain therapeutic levels for a delayed period in the eye. While new drugs targeting methods to the eye are possible by various nanoparticles. Presently in the market, there are fewer choices and need for novel nano-ocular delivery systems as well as therapies for prolonged delivery to the anterior and posterior eye segments. The primary objective of this article is to summarize current discoveries and proven activities of different nano- and microsystems in ODD. This article also depicts some regulatory updates along with the patents granted to the inventor for their work on ODD. Overall, a thought of how the different forthcoming of nanotechnologies like nanoparticles and nanomedicine can be used to investigate the frontiers of ODD and treatment can be withdrawn by this article.
