Mechanism of mucoadhesion
The polymer undergoes swelling
in water,
Entanglement of the polymer
chains with mucin on the
epithelial surface.
The un-ionized carboxylic acid
residues on the polymer form
hydrogen bonds with the mucin.
The water-swellable yet waterinsoluble systems are preferred

cornea.
It conforms to the shape of the eye, protects the corneal
surface, and provides lubrication as it dissolves.
The shields are derived from bovine collagen and are 14.5
mm in diameter.
Sterilized by gamma irradiation.
Disadvantages
1. It is not optically clear.
2. The collagen shield causes some discomfort.
Clinical uses
3. Wound healing.
4. Treatment of dry eye.

OCULAR IONTOPHORESIS:40
Size:10-1000nm
Advantages of nanoparticles
Sustained drug release and prolonged therapeutic
activity
Site-specific targeting
Higher cellular permeability
Protect the drug from chemical or enzymatic
hydrolysis
Efficient in crossing membrane barriers -blood retinal
barrier
Act as an inert carrier for ophthalmic drugs

LIPOSOMES
ADVANTAGES
Drugs delivered intact to
various body tissues.
Liposomes can be used for
both hydrophilic and
hydrophobic drug.
Possibility of targeting and
decrease drug toxicity.
The size, charge and other
characteristics can be altered
according to drug and desired
tissue.
DISADVANTAGES OF
LIPOSOMES
.
They need many modification for
drug delivery to special organs.
Cost .
53
Preparation Of Liposomes
1. Endocytosis
2. Fusion
