Ocular Pharmacology

Ocular pharmacology is the study of medicines and drugs used to diagnose, treat, and prevent eye conditions. It involves understanding how these drugs interact with eye tissues, their mechanisms of action, and how they are absorbed, distributed, and eliminated. This field helps inform safe and effective use of eye drops, ointments, and systemic medications for issues like infections, glaucoma, allergies, and inflammation. Proper ocular pharmacology ensures treatments improve eye health, preserve vision, and minimize side effects, supporting overall eye care and patient well-being.
