What Types of Nanoparticles are Commonly Studied for Ocular Applications?
Various types of nanoparticles are being explored for ocular applications, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, and quantum dots. Each type offers unique advantages and potential risks. For instance, liposomes can encapsulate drugs effectively but may cause irritation, while metallic nanoparticles may offer imaging benefits but pose a risk of toxicity due to their long-term accumulation.
