“…However, the invasive routes of administration can be associated with complications such as intraocular bleeding, pain, and discomfort to the patient which result in poor patient compliance (Sampat & Garg, 2010). Hence, noninvasive interventions such as penetration enhancers (Mahaling & Katti, 2016a; K. Okabe et al, 2005), cell-penetrating peptides (Johnson, Cashman, & Kumar-Singh, 2008), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, to degrade scleral tissue) (Lindsey, Crowston, Tran, Morris, & Weinreb, 2007), and prostaglandins (to enhance MMPs activity) (Aihara, Lindsey, & Weinreb, 2001) have been explored for improving bioavailability of administered drugs. All these approaches are associated with toxicity that can cause damage to sensitive eye structures (Burgalassi, Chetoni, Monti, & Saettone, 2001).…”
