describe cornea set up
sensory nerves, covered by tears produced by lacrima gland
1 of 11
describe lacrima gland
outer lipid layer, central aqueus, inner mucas. tears pH around 7
2 of 11
describe 3 main routes of delivery
cornea- topical to aqueous humour. pericocular- by passes cornea epithelium. intraviteral- dieryly into viterous humour
3 of 11
describe the barriers to topical corneal delivery
tear and blinking as fluid clearance. mas does of 20-30 miro litres
4 of 11
describe 4 formulation considerations for topical route
1. pH - best around 3-9. 2,. viscoity- increases residence time 3.sterility-prevents infections 4. tonicity- isotonic to prevent dehydration or oedema

solution as preparation
majority prerp, usually in eye drops
6 of 11
ointment as preparation
reduce clearance , used for poorley water soluble drugs
7 of 11
gels as preparation
semi solid with water soluble base
8 of 11
ion exchange resin as prepartaion
insoulble ion exhange complexes form bewteen drug ionically bonded to resin. release via interactions with tears
9 of 11
describe occular implants
controlled drug delivery systems into viterous. bio or non biodegradable polymers
10 of 11
describe intraviteral injections
injcetion of drug solution of suspenstion into viterous cavity, 20-100 microliters, main drug entery route to posterior eye section
