Controlled Release Trans-Scleral Dissolving Microneedles for Intraocular Delivery

University of Bradford

About the Project The Retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration, retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy are the leading causes of vision impairment. The most common way of delivering drugs to the retina is through topical therapy, usually in the form of eye drops. This usually requires 2 to 4 times a day administration by the patient, which results in poor patient compliance, and is short-acting.
