One of the most
challenging tasks faced by the pharmaceutical researchers is the ophthalmic
drug delivery. Their aim is to obtain and maintain a therapeutic level at the
site of action for prolonged period of time. Therefore, to sustain drug levels
at the target site for a sufficient time, novel drug delivery techniques should
be developed. Ophthalmic drug delivery has proved significant advancement for
future point of view. This article evaluates a variety of novel systems for
ophthalmic drug delivery.
