Nanotech opens door to exciting new ocular therapies
Nanotechnology is all set to make a positive impact on many aspects of ophthalmology including drug and gene therapy delivery methods, delegates attending the World Ophthalmology Congress 2012 were told at a special session on new technology in ophthalmology.
'This is new and exciting technology which allows us to manipulate matter at the smallest scale. We will be able to make technology that looks at harnessing some of the processes in living systems to generate energy to power devices that could be implanted inside bodies and allows us to improve human biological systems at the molecular level,' said Carlo Montemagno in a broad overview of the coming nanotechnology revolution.
