Administration of drugs through the eye.
Notes:
  1. Drugs used to treat eye disorders can be administered as liquid or semi-solid dosage forms. Solid inserts, which release the drug in slow-release pattern, are also available.
  2. Ocular drugs are almost always used for their local effects. Some drugs produce a local effect after they are absorbed through the cornea and conjunctiva. Some of these drugs then enter the bloodstream and may have unwanted or wanted systemic effects.
