A Review on Ocular Nanoformulation Based Formulations with Highlights on Pediatric Ocular Pharmacokinetics.

The potential use of nanoparticle-based formulations is being explored rapidly for drug delivery in ocular treatment. Despite having several advancements in the area of ocular therapy, the pharmacokinetics-based formulation development for pediatric ocular treatment is still not in proper focus. There are an inadequate number of degenerative ocular ailments with childhood onset. The purpose of this review is to focus on the pharmacokinetics studies of nanoparticle- based formulations for treating ocular diseases and problems associated with the ocular treatment of the pediatric population. Recent studies on pharmaceutical modeling of ocular formulations have also been discussed. Nanoparticle-based formulations were collected by conducting a literature survey on PubMed, Science Direct, and other portals. In this review, we have explored in detail the explanation behind the inequality among available ocular treatment regimens for youngsters as well as adults by specifically focusing on those diseases that can be distressing for children. Latest innovative developments and advancements in drug delivery systems and challenges in their usage particularly for young infant patients were also discussed. It can be concluded that the bioavailability of ocular formulations and their effect on ocular cells can be further enhanced manifolds by the development of nanoparticles-based formulations.
