Popis: | Abstract The travoprost intracameral implant was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for sustained release medical treatment of open-angle glaucoma in the USA. The approval represents a substantial and progressive step forward in the area of sustained-release glaucoma therapy. Topical intraocular pressure-lowering medications for the treatment of glaucoma are faced with a host of challenges for long-term and usually lifelong care. A changing paradigm in glaucoma management involves first-line interventions with laser modalities, micro-invasive surgeries, and sustained-release treatment platforms. Future needs in the area of sustained-release therapy include a non-prostaglandin drug delivery platform and longer-term treatments that do not require surgical reintervention. |
