Controlled Drug Delivery and Ophthalmic Applications

J. A. Ferreira, P. de Oliveira and P. M. da Silva

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to present an overview of drug delivery from polymeric therapeutic lens to the anterior segment of the eye. Mathematical models that describe in vitro and in vivo drug delivery, from different types of lens, are presented. Healthy and pathological situations are addressed. Numerical simulations are included and compared with experimental results.
