Alternative Methods of Drug Delivery to the Eye
Many patients worry about not being able to get their eye drops into their eyes. They may miss their eyes with squeeze bottles, or in some cases scratch their eyes. Dr. McDonnell and his team develop alternative methods of delivering medicine to patients’ eyes without eye drops. Watch the video here.CNM Research Published in PNAS
