Polymers in Ophthalmology – A Perfect Match for Vision Innovation

Ocular drug delivery is limited by biological barriers. To overcome these challenges, polymer-based materials are allowing to improve drug retention, penetration, and enabling sustained release. Different polymer types are used across formulations and devices to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce dosing frequency.

What you will learn:

• Polymers enable controlled release, better retention, and improved penetration.
• Key polymers (e.g., PLGA, chitosan, hyaluronic acid) support diverse formats like implants, gels, and lenses.
• Polymer-based solutions reduce dosing frequency and improve patient adherence.
