MIP as Drug Delivery Systems of Ophthalmic Drugs

Since the contact lenses (CLs) have been widely used in refractive correction and other aspects, the application in DDS has been developed gradually. To increase the drug loading and drug release time of lenses and bioavailability, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based CLs have been introduced as a drug delivery platform. This chapter highlights the current state of the application of MIP in ophthalmic drugs from the perspective of MIP-CLs and focuses on the manufacturing method, physical parameters, drug loading performance, and drug release.
