SCENE + HEARD: Discover Review of Optometry: Is Iontophoresis the Wave of the Future? By Staff Tuesday, May 14, 2019 3:27 PM For years, researchers looked for ways to maximize the effects of topical treatments for chronic ocular conditions such as dry eye and uveitis. While eye drops are simple in theory, in practice they come with a host of issues that hamper their efficacy. A novel drug delivery system that uses a small electrical current—known as iontophoresis—may soon reduce these limitations by allowing eyecare practitioners to achieve topical delivery of concentrated medication through a simple, in-office process. Find out how a low-level electrical current may turbo-charge topical drug delivery to the eye in this feature from Review of Optometry. Read More.
