S.S. Lee et al.

ophthalmic delivery device. It consists of pilocarpine and alginic acid contained within a reservoir enclosed by two release-controlling membranes made of EVA copolymer surrounded by a ring to aid in positioning and placement (Conway 2008; Ghate and Edelhauser 2006). While this product represented a major innovation in ophthalmic drug delivery technology, its use was limited by complications associated with device insertion and removal and the later development of more effective topical antiglaucoma medications for lowering intraocular pressure (Conway 2008; Kearns and Williams 2009).

9.2.3  Vitrasert

Vitrasert® (Bausch and Lomb, Inc., Rochester, NY, USA) is a nonbiodegradable polymeric intravitreal ganciclovir implant developed for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Ganciclovir is encapsulated within a reservoir, encased by a PVA/EVA membrane, and diffuses out according to zero-order release kinetics when fluid enters the device and creates a saturated solution (Yasukawa et al. 2006). The device provides sustained release of ganciclovir for 5–8 months and achieves higher intraocular drug concentrations as compared with systemic administration. The ganciclovir implant is ideal for cytomegalovirus retinitis lesions that pose an immediate risk to vision, and combination treatment with oral valganciclovir can be used to prevent second-eye involvement (Kedhar and Jabs 2007).

9.2.4  I-vation

I-vation™ (SurModics, Inc., Eden Prairie, MN) is a nonbiodegradable intra-vitreal implant consisting of a nonferrous metal alloy helix coated with a triamcinolone acetonide-containing polymer, similar to the design of drug-eluting cardiovascular stents (Kearns and Williams 2009). The device has a sharpened tip, which is used to make the incision for implantation, and its helical shape maximizes the surface area for drug coating and enables secure anchoring to the pars plana/sclera (Conway 2008). The polymers used to manufacture the device are a proprietary blend of polybutyl methacrylate (PBMA) and PVA, the ratio of which can be customized to vary the drug delivery rate (1–3 mg/day) and corresponding duration of delivery (6–24 months) (Kiernan and Mieler 2009). I-vation had been under investigation for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, but early trials evaluating the device reported the incidence of intraocular pressure elevation, conjunctival hemorrhage lenticular opacities, and endophthalmitis, and one phase 2 trial (clinicaltrials.gov study ID NCT00692614) was halted prematurely in 2008 (Kiernan and Mieler 2009).
