Ocular drug delivery strategies using carbon nanotubes: A perspective
Ocular drug delivery has its own set of challenges due to the eye’s complexity and barriers. Various nanocarriers have been developed to deliver drugs to the eye; however, this work focuses on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a nanocarrier. CNTs have unique properties that can address the challenges associated with ocular drug delivery. The novelty of this work is to integrate CNTs with ocular drugs to improve solubility, transport across barriers and sustained release. The structure and properties of CNTs are discussed in the context of ophthalmic applications. Functionalization of CNTs to enhance biocompatibility and optimize drug delivery is also discussed with recent updates. The key applications include improving solubility, penetration through ocular barriers and controlled release. Future directions and emerging trends in nanotechnology for ocular drug delivery are also considered herein.
