Project Description:
Topical eye drops are commonly used for treatment of ocular disease. However, use of these drops result in poor ocular drug absorption and frequent self-administration. An urgent need exists for efficient eye drug delivery methods. We have developed a precise ocular injection device that allows efficient drug delivery to the eye using a minimally invasive, pain-free, and simple approach.
