Abstract:

Ocular angiogenesis, the process of neovascularization in the eye, can occur in various parts of the eye and lead to severe visual impairment. While anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody agents remain the primary treatment for this condition, their clinical efficacy is compromised by the requirement for repeated intravitreal injections - an invasive procedure associated with cumulative risks of ocular complications and patient non-compliance. This manuscript reviews the emerging utilization of silicon nanoneedles (Si NNs) as a novel drug delivery platform to address these critical challenges. We discuss the unique characteristics of Si NNs that render them suitable for ocular anti-VEGF therapy and summarize the current applications of this approach in ocular anti-VEGF treatment across diverse ocular disease models. The controlled, long-term, and sustained drug release, in conjunction with the minimal invasiveness, renders Si NNs a promising technique for ocular anti-VEGF treatment. © 2025 IEEE.
