Discouraging bacterial colonization of ocular biomaterials and implants is a significant
challenge in ophthalmology as infections often lead to the need for secondary surgery, with …

Bacterial issues in ophthalmic applications, with particular reference to postoperative
infection of ocular implants, cause significant problems that often require additional, stressful …

Background: The long-term use of an artificial eyes can lead to complications. Persistent
physical stimulation and foreign body contact cause secondary infections. Secondary …

It is occasionally essential to surgically remove the damaged eye of the patient in the case of
serious oculoorbital injuries, intraocular cancers, and other life-threatening diseases. An …

The maintenance of vision is a key determinant of healthy ageing. This has been facilitated
over recent decades by the development of a wide range of implants and biomedical …

Bacterial biofilm on medical devices is difficult to eradicate. Many have capitalized the anti-
infective capability of silver ions (Ag+) by incorporating nano-silver (nAg) in a biodegradable …

This book is edited with a focus on nano-biomaterials for ophthalmic drug delivery. In recent
