Steroid delivery systems in uveitis (Ophthalmology Management) - "The administration of steroids can vary (topical, systemic, periocular, intravitreal or intraocular depot) depending on the cause, location and severity of disease....Fortunately, the compartmentalized anatomy of the eye has allowed multiple novel methods of local depot steroid delivery systems. These delivery systems optimize the inherent benefits of corticosteroids while reducing the known corticosteroid side effects (systemic and/or ocular). Intraocular nanoparticles and microparticles also show great promise in the targeted delivery of therapeutics and will likely be pivotal drug delivery platforms in the future. Ultimately, however, the cost of these medications and their ability to reduce treatment burden will be critical in forging their acceptance in the clinical setting."
