Abstract
Angiogenic diseases of the retina are the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. The development of anti-angiogenic molecular therapies has transformed the prognosis of these conditions, especially age-related macular degeneration. With these new treatments comes the new challenge of delivering an effective dosage to the retina, over a prolonged period of time and in a safe and cost-effective manner. A range of new anti-angiogenics are on the horizon, offering new and varied modes of drug delivery. In addition, a range of new sustained-release drug delivery technologies are being developed. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Entities:
