Advances in Dry Eye Disease Examination Techniques

Yaying Wu et al.

Summary: Dry eye-related ocular surface examination is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease. However, there is still confusion about the choice of examination method, ensuring repeatability, and accurately interpreting the results. This review systematically evaluates previous examinations, analyzes the latest views and research hotspots, and provides a reference for the diagnosis and management of dry eye.

Understanding dexamethasone kinetics in the rabbit tear fluid: Drug release and clearance from solution, suspension and hydrogel formulations

Anusha Balla et al.

Summary: Controlling release and precorneal residence properties of topical formulations may improve ocular drug bioavailability and duration of action. In this study, dexamethasone was found to have prolonged exposure in tear fluid when administered as hydrogels and suspensions compared to a solution, indicating the potential for the design of dexamethasone delivery systems with improved ocular absorption and prolonged duration of action.

Cyclosporine-loaded micelles for ocular delivery: Investigating the penetration mechanisms

Martina Ghezzi et al.

Summary: This study identified a micellar formulation that can solubilize a significant amount of cyclosporine and promote its transport across ocular barriers. Results showed that TPGS micelles can retain the drug in both the cornea and sclera, with different penetration mechanisms. The study also found that TPGS, as a permeation enhancer, has reversible effects on corneal permeability. This research is of importance for the development of novel drug delivery systems for ocular application.

Gamma sterilization and in vivo evaluation of cationic nanostructured lipid carriers as potential ocular delivery systems for antiglaucoma drugs

John Youshia et al.

Summary: Solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers have shown potential in improving ocular bioavailability of drugs with poor corneal permeability. Gamma radiation was found to be superior to autoclaving in preserving the properties of lipid nanoparticles, demonstrating it as a viable alternative for sterilization. Additionally, nanostructured lipid carriers enhance the pharmacological response of topically administered methazolamide for treating glaucoma.
