- arrangement. Rupp et al. reported the successful translation of the theoretical approach (by PPC) into a practical methodology by investigating variations in surfactant concentration during the emulsification process, which was also carried out in our study [43]. Liposomes are widely studied in ophthalmology
Nanomaterials for biomedical applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2025, 16, 1499–1503, doi:10.3762/bjnano.16.105
- nanomaterials are emerging as revolutionary tools in ophthalmology, offering targeted and minimally invasive therapies for conditions such as glaucoma, ocular tumors, and lens opacities. In addition to improving drug delivery and imaging in the eye, these materials have the potential to outperform existing
Recent advances in photothermal nanomaterials for ophthalmic applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2025, 16, 195–215, doi:10.3762/bjnano.16.16
- enhancing global visual health. Keywords: multifunctional composite; ophthalmology; photothermal nanomaterial; thermal field distribution; vapor nanobubble; Review 1 Introduction The human eye, serving as a primary organ for information acquisition, is vulnerable to various diseases over a lifetime [1
- ophthalmology because of their compatibility with the high transmittance characteristics of ocular tissues, allowing for a more sensitive response to various types of incident light [9][10][11]. This sensitivity facilitates diverse therapeutic effects and offers solutions to complex ophthalmic diseases. In
- conditions [19][20][21]. The straightforward and cost-effective fabrication of photothermal nanomaterials enhances their practicality, promising rapid advancements in the field of photothermal nanotherapeutics in ophthalmology. This paper reviews recent research progress in the application of photothermal
Microneedle-based ocular drug delivery systems – recent advances and challenges
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2022, 13, 1167–1184, doi:10.3762/bjnano.13.98
- [111][112]. Another application for which MNs have great potential is vaccine delivery [113][114][115][116]. The use of MNs in ophthalmology can still be considered as a fledgling area, however, with great potential but also many unknowns. The presented review summarizes the current data on ophthalmic
Characterization, bio-uptake and toxicity of polymer-coated silver nanoparticles and their interaction with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2021, 12, 282–294, doi:10.3762/bjnano.12.23

Rational design of block copolymer self-assemblies in photodynamic therapy
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2020, 11, 180–212, doi:10.3762/bjnano.11.15
- therapy is a technique already used in ophthalmology or oncology. It is based on the local production of reactive oxygen species through an energy transfer from an excited photosensitizer to oxygen present in the biological tissue. This review first presents an update, mainly covering the last five years
- exhibiting polycyclic structures such as porphyrins (Figure 2), inorganic particles such as gold, or so-called upconverting nanoparticles. Developed in its modern form by Dougherty in the 1970’s [17], PDT is currently clinically employed in dermatology (e.g., for actinic keratinosis), ophthalmology (e.g
Scavenging of reactive oxygen species by phenolic compound-modified maghemite nanoparticles
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2019, 10, 1073–1088, doi:10.3762/bjnano.10.108
- [12]. Due to its biocompatibility, it has been investigated in several biomedical applications, e.g., tissue engineering, ophthalmology, and drug delivery. Chitosan modification with phenolic compounds leads to the enhancement of already existing antioxidant properties [13]. The antioxidant properties
Optical techniques for cervical neoplasia detection
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2017, 8, 1844–1862, doi:10.3762/bjnano.8.186
- optical diagnostics techniques. The depth resolution of OCT is decoupled from its transverse resolution. Nowadays OCT is the reference technique in ophthalmology [118][119][120][121] and has been clinically tested in dermatology, otolaryngology and gastroenterology [122][123][124][125]. Recently OCT has
A nanometric cushion for enhancing scratch and wear resistance of hard films
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 1005–1015, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.114
- relatively low hardness values results in susceptibility to surface damage. Transparent polymers, for example, are widely used in ophthalmology and the automobile industry, but scratches degrade their optical and mechanical properties [4][5]. There are several ways to improve the scratch resistance of
