Why is Nanotechnology Important in Ocular Drug Delivery?
Traditional eye drops often suffer from poor bioavailability due to rapid tear turnover and limited corneal permeability. Nanotechnology addresses these challenges by utilizing nanocarriers such as nanoparticles, liposomes, and micelles. These carriers can encapsulate the drug, protecting it from degradation and facilitating sustained release. As a result, they enhance the therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance.
