Abstract The eye is a highly sensitive organ with multiple physiological barriers that limit drug bioavailability and reduce patient compliance. Research studies are still going on to discover novel delivery system for ocular delivery. current research aims develop compare the PLGA ocuserts of brimonidine tartrate (BT) by different methods. These BT-loaded offer promising alternative commercially available BT drops. Ocuserts could significantly minimize challenges encountered drops like lacrimation, blinking-induced washout, dosing frequency, penetration, stability, controlled release issues. were prepared using two methods: solvent casting method (SCM) glass substrate (GSM). Both SCM GSM formulations exhibited smooth texture, pH levels within range 6.88±0.24 6.90±0.28, uniform thickness (SCM: 0.47±0.10 mm; GSM: 0.29±0.03 mm), minimal weight variation 7.83±0.38 mg; 6.55±0.76 mg), sterility, appropriate swelling indices 6.69±0.33%; 5.40±0.27%). evaluation results revealed positive attributes ophthalmic use. Noteworthy distinctions emerged in folding endurance, demonstrating higher endurance (87.17±4.34 folds) than (71.33±4.82 folds). Moreover, superior entrapment efficiency (88.26±3.33 %) (74.91±4.39 %). Stability confirmed good stability over 6-month period, while vitro (italics) study indicated better properties GSM. Findings demonstrate as an effective preparation polymeric films various pharmaceutical industries, including transdermal patches, scaffolds tissue engineering, flexible wound healing films, biodegradable systems, packaging well.
