Abstract

The results of targeted drug delivery using to the main arterial vessels of the anterior part of the eye – the anterior ciliary arteries – were presented. Targeted drug delivery was performed by means of electrophoresis conducted over the zone of the episcleral depot, which was previously created by drug injection over the superior anterior ciliary artery. The study included patients with iridocyclitis both in the acute phase of inflammation and with residual signs of the inflammatory process. The effectiveness of the proposed method of treatment was shown, in which a sufficiently high concentration of the necessary drug in the iris and ciliary body was achieved. Such clinical advantages were obtained as shortening the patients treatment time and improvement of their functional results. The exact targeting of drug delivery was confirmed by fluorescein-angioscopic control. Keywords: iridocyclitis, treatment, targeted delivery, anterior ciliary arteries, electrophoresis
