Nanomedicine for ophthalmology: potential therapeutic approaches

The study of nanotechnology has ushered in a new era in medical science in recent years. The term ‘nano’ refers to the nanoscale particle spectrum that includes cellular and molecular structures and is usually between 10 and 1,000 nm in size. Nanoparticles have several advantages over conventional ophthalmic medications including abilities of smart drug targeting; extended drug release time; have reduced toxic effects; and use of gene therapy. After a quick introduction to nanoparticle classification, we'll concentrate on the potential uses of various nanoparticles in the treatment and detection of various retinal pathologies and present cutting-edge nano-derived methodologies
