Abstract

To study the biocompatibility and the biodegradation rate in vivo of new intravitreal implants made of different hyaluronic acid ester implanted through a slerotomy at 3.5 mm from the limbus of rabbitt eyes. All plugs showed a good biocompatibility and the biodegradability was related to the chemical structure of the materials.

The results obtained by this interdisciplinary research has led to the design of biodegadable materials for controlled drug delivery device for the treatment of ocular pathologies.
