Sumario: | The eye, being one of the most intricate organs in the human body, hosts numerous anatomical barriers and clearance mechanisms. This highlights the importance of devising a secure and efficacious ocular medication delivery system. Over the past several decades, advancements have been made in the development of a nano-delivery platform based on polymeric micelles. These advancements encompass diverse innovations such as poloxamer, chitosan, hydrogel-encapsulated micelles, and contact lenses embedded with micelles. Such technological evolutions allow for sustained medication retention and facilitate enhanced permeation within the eye, thereby standing as the avant-garde in ocular medication technology. This review provides a comprehensive consolidation of ocular medications predicated on polymer nanomicelles from 2014 to 2023. Additionally, it explores the challenges they pose in clinical applications, a discussion intended to aid the design of future clinical research concerning ocular medication delivery formulations. |
