Polymer chemist
Hi and welcome back to part 2 of the series “Polymers in Ophthalmology”. This time, I’ll be talking about Lenses, Prostheses and other Medical Devices. If you missed part 1, you can find my post about Viscoelastic & Drug Delivery Formulations here.
Let’s talk about polymers in ophthalmology. It’s no secret that I’m fascinated by the various applications of polymers. I have also spent the last couple of years developing polymer-based formulations for back of the eye drug delivery for my PhD. Now, I was curious to find out where else polymer materials are used in and around the eye. I started with a quick search that turned into a week of reading, because it seems, polymers and eyes go really well together. To cover all the clinical applications (that I found), I decided to split this post into several parts. Here is part 1 dealing with Viscoelastic & Drug Delivery Formulations.
Hi,
I want to share a few ophthalmology news that have caught my eye this week. As I’m working on ocular drug delivery systems, I’m always curious about what else is going on in the field. This week I learnt about:
