India, Oct. 1 -- Researchers demonstrate how mild laser-induced convection can enhance the delivery of drugs injected into the eye to the retina. This process can be used to treat retinal diseases like retinal tears & diabetic retinopathy

CHENNAI : Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) Researchers have demonstrated how drugs injected in the human eye can be better delivered to the target region through 'convection caused by mild laser heating'. They used simulation and modelling studies to analyse the efficacy of various types of treatments on the human eye, focusing on heat and mass transfer.

With nearly 11 million individuals afflicted by retinal disorders in India, indigenous original research of this nature holds promis...
