What Are the Challenges in Implementing Nanotechnology for Ocular Surface Applications?
Despite the promise of nanotechnology, several challenges remain in its application to the ocular surface. One major concern is the biocompatibility of nanomaterials, as they must be non-toxic and non-irritating to the sensitive eye tissues. Additionally, the production and scaling of nanomaterials for clinical use require rigorous testing and regulatory approval processes, which can be both time-consuming and costly.
