Ocular Nanotechnology

Like entities from another world, these tiny delivery mechanisms are fascinating in their variety of shapes and structures, and also in their relation to the watery environment in which they are able to move to intelligently deliver their payloads to the right destination. Nanoparticles are the most common nanocarriers for ocular therapeutics because of their biocompatibility and their capacity to be loaded with drugs and gene therapies by chemical attachment, embedment, or encapsulation in the nanocarrier. Clockwise starting at noon: nanopolymer, nanoemulsion, nanomicelle, and liposome.
