Explanation:
In October 2024, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) developed an enhanced drug delivery method for the eyes, particularly targeting retinal diseases.
The team devised a novel technique that uses mild laser-induced convection to improve the speed and precision of drug delivery into the retina.
Information Booster:
• Developed by Department of Applied Mechanics & Biomedical Engineering.
• The laser-assisted method increases precision, reduces treatment time, and enhances drug retention in target zones.
• Diseases targeted: retinal tear, diabetic macular edema, vein occlusion, and retinopathy.
• The technique reduces drug delivery time from 12 hours to 12 minutes.​
• Research led by Prof. Arunn Narasimhan and Mr. Shirinvas Vibuthe.​
