Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000264

The delivery of pharmaceutical agents to the eye, primarily for local effects on the ocular surface or within the eye itself. This method involves applying formulations such as eye drops, ointments, or gels directly onto the conjunctiva or cornea. The drug then penetrates the ocular tissues to exert its therapeutic action, treating conditions like glaucoma or conjunctivitis.
