Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been major advancements in the pharmacologic treatment of eye diseases over the past decade. With newly discovered disease targets and novel approaches to deliver therapeutic compounds to the eye, patients are seeing improved outcomes. Not only are there better treatments for diseases where treatments existed, we now have effective therapy for previously untreatable and blinding eye disorders. This volume will cover the pharmacologic treatment of eye diseases from the front of the eye including eyelids, conjunctiva and cornea all the way back to the retina and optic nerve. The first section of the volume reviews general principles of ocular pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical sciences, and drug delivery. In addition, the volume provides an up to date guide to the pharmacologic approach to the key eye diseases that threaten sight or ocular function.

PREPARATION OF PADS, APPLICATORS, ETC. Chemical agents act locally and are themselves decomposed by the chemical reaction with the tissues and nutrient fluids, causing a precipitation or coagulation of albumen in normal as well as morbid secretions, and a certain degree of neutralization of the therapeutic agents. Their action is therefore self-limited to a certain extent, and the changed tissues do not react indefinitely. The action of chemical agents is not lasting, for the fresh blood supply and renewed secretion restore, at least in part, the former conditions. This can be accelerated by removing the surplus of the chemical agent, mechanically, as by mopping or irrigation, or chemically, by instilling solutions which neutralize or antagonize the active principles of the former. Antiseptics are remedies which arrest septic decomposition. They do this by preventing the development of or completely destroying the bacilli on whose action the septic process depends. Agents of this class are used for a variety of purposes, such as the cleansing of instruments, the preparation of eye dressings, ' and as cleansing fluids for the field of operation. Those most frequently used in the treatment of eye disease itself for irrigation or instillation are the following: --Boracic acid, or boric acid, is a slightly antiseptic, somewhat astringent, unirritating white powder. A saturated solution contains one part in.
