This book addresses the issues relating to a wide variety of ocular
diseases from which millions of people suffer. Long-term challenges
include visual impairment and ocular blindness. Certain ocular
diseases are quite rare, whereas others, such as cataracts,
age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma, are very common,
especially in the aging population. A rapid expansion of new
technologies in ocular drug delivery and new drug candidates,
including biologics, to treat these challenging diseases in the retina
and posterior segments of the eye have recently emerged. These
approaches are necessary because the eye has many unique barriers to
drug delivery. Thus, this timely reference Drug Delivery for the
Retina and Posterior Segment Disease compiles and analyzes recent
advances in the research and development of drug delivery systems for
retina and posterior segment diseases of the eye, with an emphasis on
the use of implantable devices, iontophoresis as well as micro- and
nanoparticles.
