oil filling eyes were protected from rubeotic glaucoma induced by retina hypoxia first reported by Smith (McLeod 1986; Smith 1981). The author attributed this observation to decreased movements of vasoproliferative factors from ischaemic retina to the anterior segment, thereby reducing anterior segment exposure. The conclusions from both studies are that silicone oil is capable of reducing transport of significantly.
Kathawate and Achaya have developed a 3D mathematical model of human eye to simulate flow distribution and transport processes in silicone oil and results were compared to water (Kathawate and Acharya
2008). A Navier Stokes model was
adopted where velocity, pressure and concentration fields were mathematically calculated by solving the conservation equations for mass, momentum and drug concentrations. The simulation data revealed that fluid velocity in silicone oil was significantly lower than water when silicone oil was modelled as a highly viscous fluid with a viscosity of 1.067 kg/ms, 1,000 folds higher than water (0.001 kg/ms). The slower fluid motion in silicone oil may explain the decrease in oxygen and vasoproliferative factors transport seen in the clinical and experimental studies aforementioned. In addition, the lower velocities in the silicone oil resulted in the slower transport of small (D = 6e−10 m2/s) molecules across the retinal layer. A similar observation was demonstrated when very large (1e−11 m2/s) molecules were modelled, suggesting that retinal-directed convective forces play a weaker role in this instance and a diffusion mechanism is more important.
Consistent with the simulation data, the vitreal clearance of ganciclovir released from an implant was found to be lower in the silicone oil as compared to saline­filled eyes following intravitreal placement (Perkins et al. 2001), suggesting that highly viscous silicone oil will behave as a slow-release drug reservoir. When sili­cone oil fills of 0.5 and 1.0 mL volumes were tested to represent cases of suboptimal filling, no variations in concentrations were observed, suggesting drug clearance is independent of the filling volume. Other therapeutic agents used in conjunction to silicone oil tamponade include retinoic acid (Nakagawa et al. 1995; Araiz et al.
1993) and bevacizumab (Falavarjani et al. 2010; Singh and Stewart 2008) which
have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy as an adjunctive treatment option to prolif­erative vitreoretinopathy, iris neovascularisation and neovascular glaucoma with considerable degree of ocular tolerance. High drug levels in the posterior ocular tis­sues for longer than 1 week were achieved with an optically clear formulation of acetylsalicylic acid in silicone oil (Kralinger et al. 2001a). The safety of this drug formulation in rabbit was confirmed by assessing the retina health by ERG and histological studies (Kralinger et al. 2001b). A retrospective study has demonstrated that methotrexate administered at doses range from 200 to 1,200 mg was tolerable in silicone oil-filled eyes and patient best-corrected visual acuity was either stable or improved from pre-treatment (Hardwig et al. 2008).
In view of the lack of knowledge describing drug solubilities in silicone oil, Pastor et al. performed a series of solubility studies with commonly used anti­inflammatory agents (Pastor et al. 2008). The drug molecules were first dissolved in organic solvent at therapeutic doses, followed by injection into purified silicone oil of viscosity 1,000 cP where drug solubility was assessed by the transparency of the

drug-silicone oil solutions. The data obtained showed that with the exceptions of nabumetone and phenylbutazone, the remaining compounds investigated: dexame­thasone, triamcinolone acetonide and indomethacin demonstrated poor solubilities in silicone oil. This led the authors to conclude that most anti-inflammatory agents used clinically are not completely soluble at therapeutic concentrations and quanti­fication of concentrations from the eye would be inaccurate. Additionally, direct injection of high concentration of triamcinolone acetonide into the silicone oil-filled eye resulted in extensive sedimentation below the oil bubble that may potentially induce cytotoxicity in the retinal layers. In order to improve the solubility, investiga­tors suggested predispersing triamcinolone acetonide in silicone oil to produce a homogeneous suspension prior to injection (Spitzer et
Despite the encouraging data with silicone oil, maintaining a constant drug level is difficult to achieve in this vehicle due to inconsistent release kinetics which can either follow square root time square when diffusion through the oil is rate limiting or first-order kinetics when partitioning out of the oil into the vitreous is rate limit­ing (Ashton 2006). The individual variation in the magnitude of retinal detachment, thus the duration and degree of silicone oil filling further complicate the dosage regimen, suggesting safety and efficacy need to be evaluated carefully.
al. 2009).
6.7.4 Role of Ocular Movements in Disordered Vitreous
The faster rate of material distribution and clearance in the liquefied vitreous could be attributed to the loss of vitreous diffusional barrier and enhanced convective forces; other factors such as ocular movements should also be considered. Stocchino and colleagues used a custom-made human eye model mounted on a computer­controlled motorised support which allowed manipulation of eye rotation along the vertical diameter of the eyeball. Using this experimental apparatus, saccadic eye rotations was simulated as sinusoidal torsional oscillation. The cavity was filled with glycerol solutions to mimic the increased viscosity, with the assumption that the vitreous behaves as a Newtonian fluid. During the experiments, fluid motions in the vitreous were recorded as images, which were then processed to obtain the velocity field. The author integrated the velocity field using algorithms to calculate particle trajectories as a mean of analysing stirring properties. The results demonstrated vit­reous stirring as a function of flow induced by ocular rotations; with more efficient stirring at areas with higher fluid velocities and lower stirring action at areas where velocities were lower. The application of this model was appropriate for vitrecto­mised and highly liquefied eyes, where collageneous components of the vitreous were removed and substituted by homogeneous fluid such as aqueous humour, saline or silicone oil. Additionally, the large Peclet number of flow calculated in this study led to the suggestion that advection (bulk flow) is more important than diffusion in inducing mass transport when the vitreous is liquefied (Stocchino et Therefore, sinusoidal eye rotations that increase the advective forces within the vit­reous cavity may have a greater impact on larger molecules when diffusion is limited.
al. 2010).

The result of this study is consistent with the work by Lee et al. (2009), who have shown that ocular movement has no significant influence on intravitreal distribution of Gd-DTPA (MW ~ 590 Da), a small molecule, in post-mortem elderly eyes.
6.8 Concluding Remarks
The intravitreal route is, at the present time, the most likely method to succeed in some measure of retinal delivery. It is however, not guaranteed to achieve uniform, long-term delivery at the retina and significant technological hurdles still exist in sustaining drug therapy. Modelling, using data derived from imaging shows the influence of convective flows in the elderly eye. It is hoped that such information will strongly influence thinking with regard to treatment of AMD, DME and glaucoma, particularly with regard to the target population who are aged and have morphological changes in the vitreous humour.

Transscleral Drug Delivery
Dayle H. Geroski and Henry F. Edelhauser
Abstract The treatment of diseases of the posterior segment of the eye remains
limited by the ability to deliver effective doses of drugs to target tissues in the pos­terior eye. Topical delivery as drops and systemic delivery require large doses and remain limited in delivering effective doses to the back of the eye. Intravitreal injec­tion and implantation of intravitreal sustained-release delivery devices are effective but invasive, and both modes of delivery share potential risks of retinal detachment, endophtalmitis, hemorrhage, and cataract. Numerous studies have demonstrated that drugs and solutes can diffuse across the sclera in vitro and in situ when delivered by a periocular approach. Transscleral delivery could provide an effective alterna­tive approach for delivering therapeutic agents to the posterior tissues of the eye.
7.1 Introduction
Approximately 1.7 million Americans over the age of 65 suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and as the nation ages, this number will grow by an estimated 200,000 new cases per year. Severe vision loss from AMD and other dis­eases affecting the posterior segment, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa accounts for most cases of irreversible blindness worldwide.
As exciting new treatment modalities are being explored and developed for retinal degenerations and posterior segment disease, effective modes of drug delivery to the back of the eye are limited. Successful treatment of these visually devastating diseases will most likely require delivering effective doses of pharmacologic agents to the posterior segment, possibly in conjunction with surgical (including cell transplant) or genetic intervention.
