About this Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics article
Light-responsive Biomaterials for Ocular Drug Delivery by Hend A. M. Abdelmohsen; Nikki A. Copeland; John G. Hardy is a Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics article available to read on EtoBox.
Light-responsive biomaterials can be used for the delivery of therapeutic drugs and nucleic acids, where the tunable/precise delivery of payload highlights the potential of such biomaterials for treating a variety of conditions. The translucency of eyes and advances of laser technology in ophthalmology make light-responsive delivery of drugs feasible. Importantly, light can be applied in a non-invasive fashion; therefore, light-triggered drug delivery systems have great potential for clinical impact. This review will examine various types of light-responsive polymers and the chemistry that underpins their application as ophthalmic drug delivery systems. ## Graphical abstract
