Abstract

In recent years, the field of injectable smart hydrogels for ophthalmic applications has gained considerable attention. These remarkable materials have emerged as promising candidates for addressing a broad spectrum of ocular diseases and conditions. The inherent properties of injectable smart hydrogels, including sustained drug delivery, tissue regeneration promotion, and therapeutic enhancement, have fuelled their growing significance in ophthalmology. This book chapter offers an in-depth exploration of the current research landscape, focusing on the latest developments in the design and application of injectable smart hydrogels for ocular purposes. The essential design criteria for these hydrogels are discussed and a comprehensive overview of their versatile applications in treating ophthalmic conditions such as corneal regeneration, ocular drug delivery, vitreous substitutes, and glaucoma treatment is presented. By illuminating the transformative potential of injectable smart hydrogels, this chapter aims to highlight their capacity to revolutionise the field of ophthalmic care.
