How Do Nanoparticles Interact with Ocular Tissues?
Nanoparticles can interact with different parts of the eye, such as the cornea, lens, and retina. The unique properties of nanoparticles, such as their large surface area-to-volume ratio and ability to penetrate biological barriers, make them effective but also potentially harmful. For example, silver nanoparticles may penetrate the cornea and reach deeper ocular tissues, leading to toxicity.
