Abstract
Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) with
medication or surgery has long been the accepted treatment for glaucoma.IOP can
be lowered by a number of excellent drugs available on the market. Usually, eye
drops are used to administer these medications. However, patients may not
comply to their treatment plans, which lowers the medications’ clinical
efficacy. Numerous cutting-edge delivery technologies are currently being
researched with the goal of resolving the adherence issue and ensuring a
consistent drop in IOP. Systems that are surgically implanted, injectables like
biodegradable micro- and nanoparticles, and contact lens-releasing glaucoma
medicines are a few instances of these delivery techniques. By offering a range
of methods of administration. These cutting-edge technologies have the capacity
to control IOP over several months. Promise to improve clinical effectiveness.
Additionally, there is a wish to havein addition to IOP reduction,
supplementary neuroprotective strategies for patients who still exhibit
deterioration. For typical oral or drop formulations, many prospective
neuroprotective drugs are unsuitable. The development of appropriate delivery
mechanisms capable of delivering the medications to the retina and optic nerve
in a localized, sustained manner is necessary to realize their promise. Drug
delivery methods could improve patient adherence, reduce side effects, increase
effectiveness, and eventually help glaucoma sufferers maintain their vision. In
this evaluation, we go over the advantages and drawbacks of the existing
distribution and application systems as well as those that are in the works.
