Abstract

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels represent a cutting-edge class of biomaterials with immense potential for revolutionizing various biomedical applications, especially in ophthalmic formulations. This chapter serves as a foundational overview of stimuli-responsive hydrogels, shedding light on their definition, properties, and mechanisms of responsiveness. Furthermore, it explores their diverse and promising roles in the realm of biomedicine, encompassing drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, diagnostics, and beyond. The chapter aims to provide readers with a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to the world of stimuli-responsive hydrogels, setting the stage for deeper exploration into their design, synthesis, and transformative biomedical applications.
