Biodegradable ocular implants
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common ocular infection in patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), occurring in 15%-40% of AIDS patients. It will cause blindness in 3 to 6 months if left untreated. The available mode of treatments ranges from intravenous to implants for...
