Abstract
Controlled transscleral co-delivery of two drugs, edaravone (EDV) and unoprostone (UNO), using a platform that comprises a microfabricated reservoir, controlled-release cover, and drug formulations, which are made of photopolymerized poly(ethyleneglycol) dimethacrylates, shows synergistic retinal neuroprotection against light injury in rats when compared with single-drug-loaded devices. The device would offer a safer therapeutic method than intravitreal injections for retinal disease treatments.Entities:
