Abstract:
The inherent limitations of traditional treatments for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) have spurred the development of various nanotechnologies, offering a safer and more efficient approach to managing the disease. Nanomedicine platforms present promising advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of DR by enhancing imaging capabilities, enabling targeted and controlled drug delivery. These innovations ultimately lead to more effective and personalized treatments with fewer side effects. This review highlights the progress, challenges, and opportunities in developing effective diagnostics and therapeutics for DR. Additionally, it explores innovative engineering techniques that leverage our growing understanding of nano-bio interactions to create more potent nanotherapeutics for patients.
