Abstract

Eye drops are liquid drops applied directly to the surface of the eye usually in small amounts such as a single drop or a few drops. When using eye drops, even when used correctly, there may be multiple routes of absorption, and if the eye drops are not fully absorbed by the eye, an overdose can sometimes lead to poor systemic bioavailability. Eye medication for anterior chamber disorder is delivered through eye drops or through a slow-release device inserted into the eye into the tear fluid. The instilled drug exits the eye in several ways, including through the canaliculus, which drains tears into the nasal cavity and is transported through the various eye membranes. A disease that affects the ocular surface, it is important to understand how repeated use of eye drops affects the ocular surface, affects clinical signs, affects symptoms, and affects the overall dry eye process. The ingredients in topical formulations most likely to adversely affect the ocular surface are preservatives.
