- the most common treatment for ocular diseases is to administer the drug by eye drops, but the drug hardly migrates to the inner eye such as the retina and the vitreous. This makes treatment of diseases in the inner eye more difficult. Since the intraocular delivery of systemically administered drugs is limited by the blood-eye barrier, it is difficult to transfer drugs to effective concentrations.
- a method of directly administering a drug to the inner ocular region has been attempted.
- a technique has been reported in which ribosomes or microspheres containing a drug are administered to the inner ocular region such as the vitreous body.
- ribosomes have difficulty in controlling the release of drugs, and microspheres have a large particle size, so there is a problem in maintaining uniform dispersibility and transparency in the vitreous body.
- Studies have been conducted to include the drug in the capsule and administer the vitreous.

Furthermore, the nanospheres administered into the vitreous are taken into the retina in a state in which the nanospheres contain the drug, and the smaller the particle size, the longer they remain in the retina or the vitreous for a long period of time. It has been found that, when a nanosphere having a diameter of 20 O nm or less is selected, the persistence of the drug concentration in the retina can be more suitably improved by remaining in the retina for a long period of time.
