Nanotechnology in Ophthalmology

Nanotechnology involves the creation and use of materials in the order of less than 100 nanometers. Thesematerials and devices at a size comparable to intracellular structures and molecules operate at a single cell level. Nanotechnology is going to revolutionize the management of several ophthalmic diseases including AMD (Age related Macular Degeneration), glaucoma, retinal degenerative diseases and also going to modernize several filds including measurement of IOP, prevention of scarring after glaucoma surgery and ocular drug delivery
