Chronic retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are a major cause of global visual impairment. However, current treatment methods involving repetitive intravitreal injections pose financial and health burdens for patients. The development controlled drug release systems, particularly biological drugs, is still an unmet need in prolonging within the vitreous chamber. To address this, green supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) foaming technology was employed to manufacture porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based implants loaded with dexamethasone. desired implant dimensions were achieved through 3D printing customised moulds. By varying depressurisation rates during process, different porosities dexamethasone successfully obtained. These demonstrated up four months, surpassing performance previously developed implants. In view positive results obtained, pilot study conducted using monoclonal antibody bevacizumab explore feasibility this preparing intraocular biologic molecules. Overall, presents greener more sustainable alternative conventional manufacturing techniques, suited drugs that susceptible degradation under harsh conditions.

3D Printing (3DP) of pharmaceuticals could drastically transform the manufacturing medicines and facilitate widespread availability personalised healthcare. However, with increasing awareness environmental damage manufacturing, 3DP must be eco-friendly, especially when it comes to carbon emissions. This study investigated effects pharmaceutical 3DP. Using Design Experiments (DoE) Machine Learning (ML), we looked at energy use in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). From 136 experimental runs across four common dosage forms, identified several key parameters that contributed consumption, consequently CO

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) has become one of the mainstream refractive surgeries in recent years, with satisfactory efficacy, safety, and predictability. SMILE-derived lenticule, byproduct surgery, holds great potential clinical practice given its easy access good biocompatibility. Numerous studies have been published to describe applications correction, corneal ectasia diseases, defects. The feasibility safety were validated both animal models studies. Moreover, preservation method is also crucial for further promotion application. Novel techniques are evaluated applied preservation. We covered advances stromal lenticules their reuse this review.

Eyes are one of the main critical organs body that provide our brain with most information about surrounding environment. Disturbance in activity this informational organ, resulting from different ocular diseases, could affect quality life, so finding appropriate methods for treating disease has attracted lots attention. This is especially due to ineffectiveness conventional therapeutic method deliver drugs into interior parts eye, and also presence barriers such as tear film, blood-ocular, blood-retina barriers. Recently, some novel techniques, types contact lenses, micro nanoneedles situ gels, have been introduced which can overcome previously mentioned These techniques enhance bioavailability components inside eyes, them posterior side release a controlled manner, reduce effects previous (such eye drops). Accordingly, review paper aims summarize evidence on effectiveness these new disease, their preclinical clinical progression, current limitations, future perspectives.

The field of ophthalmology is expanding exponentially, both in terms diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, as well the worldwide increasing incidence eye-related diseases. Due to an ageing population climate change, number ophthalmic patients will continue increase, overwhelming healthcare systems likely leading under-treatment chronic eye Since drops are mainstay therapy, clinicians have long emphasised unmet need for ocular drug delivery. Alternative methods, i.e., with better compliance, stability longevity delivery, would be preferred. Several approaches materials being studied used overcome these drawbacks. We believe that drug-loaded contact lenses among most promising a real step toward dropless potentially transformation clinical practice. In this review, we outline current role focusing on materials, binding preparation, concluding look at future developments.
