Abstract

This chapter provides an insightful overview of patents related to biopolymer-based in situ-forming hydrogels in the context of ophthalmic drug delivery and tissue regeneration. It highlights the innovative applications of biopolymers such as hyaluronic acid, chitosan, collagen, and gelatin in creating hydrogels for controlled drug release. This chapter explores patented strategies for delivering diverse therapeutic agents and their potential to revolutionize ophthalmic treatments. Furthermore, it delves into the regenerative capabilities of these patented hydrogels, particularly in corneal and retinal tissue engineering. This chapter encapsulates the importance of these patents in advancing ophthalmic healthcare and fostering new frontiers in drug delivery and tissue regeneration.
