Ocular Pharmacology
Ocular pharmacology is the study of how drugs affect the eye and its surrounding structures. It involves understanding the mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, and side effects of medications used to treat various eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and infections.
This field also explores the delivery methods of these drugs, including topical solutions, injections, and systemic medications. By studying ocular pharmacology, healthcare professionals can better manage eye diseases and improve patient outcomes through effective treatment strategies.
