Abstract
In this study a mathematical model for intravitreal injection and depositing controlled release systems in the eye to treat posterior segment deseases is developed. The effects of important parameters that play a critical role in drug distribution are also studied.
Geometrical model is constructed using COMSOL software and governing equations for a 3-D model of drug distribution are solved by finite element method. The geometry is based on the exact dimensions of human eye and retina, choroid and sclera are considered separately. Choroidal losses to the circulatory system and active transport by the retinal pigment epithelium are incorporated as well. Moreover, two types of implant...
