This book investigates the fundamental considerations in ocular drug delivery and discusses the latest techniques such as microdialysis and models of ocular drug disposition. It stresses that simple instillation of drug solution in the cul-de-sac is not acceptable and newer systems are needed. > \nThe second edition of this text assembles significant ophthalmic advances and encompasses breakthroughs in gene therapy, ocular microdialysis, vitreous drug disposition modelling, and receptor/transporter targeted drug delivery. > I: Fundamental Considerations 1. Overview of Ocular Drug Delivery 2. Membrane Transport Processes in the Eye 3. General Considerations in Ocular Drug Delivery II: Transport Models in Ocular Drug Delivery 4. Ocular Drug Transfer following Systemic Drug Administration 5. Ocular Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics 6. Mathematical Modeling of Drug Distribution in the Vitreous Humor 7. Anterior Segment Microdialysis 8. Posterior Segment Microdialysis III: Drug s
