Advances in Ocular Biomaterials and Delivery Systems provides a focused look at key ocular biomaterials and the latest advances in drug and gene delivery for ophthalmic applications, covering their use in ocular implants, medical devices, and targeted delivery systems. The benefits and challenges of select biomaterials are assessed, including hydrogels, nanoemulsions, and polymers, aiding materials selection for improved outcomes. Practical applications are detailed, such as the use of nanoformulations, contact lenses, corneal implants, and intravitreal injections, as well as the development of eye drops and other formulations targeting the anterior and posterior chambers, such as the cornea, retina, and optic nerve.With a clear emphasis on translating research into clinical practice, this book is essential for those working on the forefront of novel biomaterials for vision care and ocular disease therapy.Includes detailed case studies of commercially available ocular biomaterial systems and devices, offering practical insightsDetails emerging trends, future research directions, and technological advances in gene and drug delivery systems in ophthalmologyHighlights translational importance, including pre-clinical and clinical considerations for novel ocular delivery biomaterials and platforms
