Systems for Drug Delivery to the Posterior Segment of the Eye

For therapy of ocular posterior diseases, the problem of delivering adequate drug over prolonged periods is often a significant challenge. Drug delivery systems can be designed for facilitating relatively short-lived drug transport from the anterior to the posterior, or for providing both localized posterior and pan-retinal concentrations of drug over periods of months to years. These approaches will be addressed in the context of disease requirements.
