چکیده
The human eye and tear provide essential physiological information for the detection of ocular dysfunctions therapy monitoring. measurements biomarkers in composition are critical disease diagnosis early interventions. Hence, significant efforts dedicated to development functional contact lenses that can quantify analytes condition. combination microfluidics lens technologies offer real-time monitoring physiology timely disorders through wireless components. This review discusses fundamentals microfluidic their diverse applications ophthalmic diagnostics drug delivery. It also elucidates strategies commercialization create clinical point-of-care products.

Ophthalmic drug delivery through contact lenses.
PURPOSE Currently available ophthalmic drug delivery systems are inefficient and may lead to side effects. To increase efficiency and reduce side effects, the authors propose disposable particle-laden soft contact lenses for ophthalmic drug delivery. METHODS The essential idea is to encapsulate the ophthalmic drug formulations in nanoparticles and to disperse these drug-laden particles in the...
متن کاملDrug delivery through soft contact lenses.
Clinical studies were conducted on 466 patients waiting for senile cataract surgery and receiving chloromycetin, gentamicin, or carbenicillin subconjunctivally and through New Sauflon 70 and New Sauflon 85 lenses. The aqueous drug levels were biologically estimated at various time intervals. Soft contact lenses provided significantly higher drug penetration than subconjunctival therapy. Both mo...

Uveitis and primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) are diseases associated with the invasion of lymphocytes into various regions of the eye, accompanied by expression of inflammatory cytokines. While these diseases are very different in terms of survivability and treatment options they have similar symptoms that make accurate diagnosis challenging. Furthermore, the diagnostic yield with state-of-t...
متن کاملImprovements in Topical Ocular Drug Delivery Systems: Hydrogels and Contact Lenses.
PURPOSE Conventional ophthalmic systems present very low corneal systemic bioavailability due to the nasolacrimal drainage and the difficulty to deliver the drug in the posterior segment of ocular tissue. For these reasons, recent advances have focused on the development of new ophthalmic drug delivery systems. This review provides an insight into the various constraints associated with ocular ...
