Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems

117
Ophthalmic drug delivery faces major limitations due to poor absorption across the corneal membrane. This process is primarily driven by diffusion and is influenced by two main factors: the physicochemical properties of the drug and tear drainage. Most ophthalmic drugs, such as pilocarpine, epinephrine, atropine, and local anesthetics, are weak bases. They are typically formulated at an acidic pH to enhance chemical stability. However, this leads to high ionization, reducing their ability to...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Protection
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • The ORAMED project addresses radiation protection for medical staff, with a focus on eye lens dose.
  • Current dosimetry methods may not accurately reflect radiation exposure to the eye lens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically revise the operational quantity H(p)(3) for eye lens dosimetry.
  • To develop a more accurate phantom for simulating head and eye lens geometry.
  • To optimize personal dosemeter design for H(p)(3) measurement.

Main Methods:

  • Critical review of the operational quantity H(p)(3).
  • Development of a cylindrical phantom to simulate the human head.
  • Calculation of air kerma to dose equivalent conversion coefficients for photons (10 keV-10 MeV).
  • Design and optimization of a personal dosemeter for H(p)(3).

Main Results:

  • Preliminary results on a revised operational quantity for eye lens dose.
  • A new cylindrical phantom model for improved head simulation.
  • Calculated conversion coefficients for a wide photon energy range.
  • Initial findings on personal dosemeter optimization for H(p)(3).

Conclusions:

  • The ORAMED project is advancing eye lens radiation protection for medical personnel.
  • Improved dosimetry, including phantom design and conversion coefficients, is crucial.
  • Optimized personal dosemeters are needed for accurate H(p)(3) monitoring.
