Handbook of Basic and Clinical Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics

The Handbook of Basic and Clinical Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, edited by Sunny Ohia and Najam Sharif, is a detailed guide for understanding how drugs interact with the eye. It covers essential aspects of ocular pharmacology, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology of the eye, with a strong focus on drug therapy, drug delivery, and the use of therapeutic miniature devices.

Designed for both students and healthcare practitioners, this medical reference highlights how pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics affect ocular drugs, while explaining the barriers such as blood-retinal, blood-aqueous, and blood-vitreous that limit systemic circulation. Readers will find comprehensive insights into ocular disorders, drug conjugates, combination products, biologics, gene therapy, and cellular therapy, making it a complete clinical handbook for anyone working in optometry, ophthalmology, pharmacy, or medical sciences.
