Abstract

This chapter delves into the vital aspects of biopolymer-based in situ-forming hydrogels designed for ophthalmic drug delivery (DD). Focusing on swelling behavior and drug release (DR) kinetics, it explores the key factors influencing these processes. By elucidating the mechanisms governing swelling and DR, this chapter provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to enhance DD to the eye. The findings presented here pave the way for the development of more effective and patient-friendly ophthalmic DD systems.
