This article reviewed the therapeutic use of chitosan as artificial lacrima, medical viscoelastic material, carrier of drug delivery systems and so on in ophthalmic disease.
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of different dispersing media, such as atolin and ethyl benzoate, on sustained-release properties of chitosan microspheres.
