Self-implantable double-layered micro-drug-reservoirs for efficient and controlled ocular drug delivery
Treatment for eye injuries and diseases is most efficient when delivered directly into the eye. Here, the authors developed a patient-friendly eye patch equipped with an array of detachable microneedles, through which drugs can be delivered through the cornea for an extended period of time.
