Cover Story: Ophthalmic drug delivery faces major anatomical and physiological barriers, necessitating the development of novel drug delivery systems. This review highlights nanoemulsions, microemulsions, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems including self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems and self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems, emulgels, and in situ-forming emulgels as emerging platforms that improve ocular retention, stability, permeability, bioavailability, and ultimately therapeutic activity. It covers ocular diseases, limitations of conventional formulations, mechanisms of enhanced permeation by emulsion systems, formulation and optimization strategies, characterization, recent patents, clinical trials, marketed products, and future prospects of these systems for ocular diseases. View this paper
