New delivery system for prescription eye drugs - Biotech's Future

The video discusses a novel eye delivery system that uses a gel platform to administer existing drugs more effectively. This technology, based on hyaluronic acid, allows for controlled drug release, improving treatment outcomes for eye conditions like cataracts and ulcers. It is particularly useful in battlefield scenarios, where medics can quickly apply it to injured soldiers. The system addresses challenges in drug administration by tailoring the release time, supported by NSF grants. Overall, it enhances the efficacy of existing medications.
