Sector Overview Ocular Drug Delivery Technologies : Exciting times Ahead
نویسنده
چکیده
The 2010 global cost of vision loss was nearly US$3 trillion (£2 trillion) for the 733 million people living with low vision and blindness,1 with this number expected to increase significantly due to the aging population and the increasing incidence of metabolic disorders such as diabetes. This makes eye disorders one of the costliest health conditions worldwide. The major blinding disorders currently include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy /
