Abstract

Clinical management of many chronic ophthalmological disorders requires direct delivery of drugs into the vitreous. There is an important need to investigate novel needle-less alternatives to deliver drugs to the vitreous. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a needle-less system using ultrasound to enhance vitreal delivery of small molecules through the sclera in an
