ABSTRACT
Eye is a complex organ consisting of several protective barriers and defense mechanisms. Most commonly used approach is the topical route of administration and it is inefficient due to low drug bioavailability. Nanotechnology has the ability to overcome these problems. Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant vesicles and emerging nanocarriers in drug delivery applications due to their storage stability and cost-effectiveness. This review describes about the niosome, preparation methods, evaluation and the niosome based treatment strategies in ocular disease.
Keywords: Nanotechnology, Niosomes, Nanocarriers, Vesicular system, Ocular drug delivery.
