Nano-ophthalmology: Applications and considerations

The advent of nanotechnology promises to drastically accelerate progress toward nanomedicine. Nanoscale particles in the size range of cellular and molecular structures, which are usually referred to as nanoparticles (NPs), can be designed to improve penetration, sustained delivery, and controlled release of different drugs for ophthalmic therapeutic applications. After explaining different forms of routinely-used NPs such as nanomicelles,...
