Abstract: Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision impairment, which subsequently leads to loss of eyesight. Various treatment modalities such as topical and systemic medications, laser trabeculoplasty and surgery for the treatment of glaucoma are available; but it is most widely treated with topical eye drops due to self-administration. However, eye drops suffer from poor bioavailability and frequent administration. Hydrogel is a promising drug delivery system which can be administered both topically and injected and deliver the drug for extended period of time. This mini review focuses on published work on hydrogel use in glaucoma treatment.
