A new development has been made for delivering drugs into the eyes. The new process uses tiny ‘microneedles’ to inject drugs into the eyeball.A team of researchers based at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, in the US, have demonstrated that drugs can be successfully delivered to the eye using microneedles. Injections into the eye are known as intravitreal injections. Injections of this type are difficult and are rarely performed as it is not easy to ensure that the drug reaches its intended location. The normal way of administering drugs is through eye-drops, where there is a risk of infection.To see more details visit,www.digitaljournal
