Abstract
Fashioned contact lenses can be converted into novel drug delivery vehicles. Ocular disease like diabetic retinopathy is a major microvascular complication where its early diagnosis and treatment is still a mystery to clinicians. Delivery of pharmaceuticals to the posterior part of eye is quite difficult, with exemption from the injectable formulations. Drug loaded hydrogel like contact lens implants can be utilized in place of commercial contact lens. Such hydrogel lens implants are developed with precise manner in which they are to be inserted as implants in the mice models. The present work is the preliminary outcome of our ongoing research work where the polymerized lens implant can be used as payload carrier for retinopathy. The aim is to propose such appropriate implants suitable for in vivo mice models.
