Abstract

The study outlines the review of ocular films and polymers so far used by quick reference for the researchers. There is extensive research going on in the name of finding an accurate polymer that helps delay the release of drugs in ocular drug forms. The ocular film is a good idea if implemented properly, but finding a suitable polymer is a gargantuan task that has yet to be accomplished. Till now, researchers have extensively studied and compiled in the interest of reviewing all the available ocular films. To research and compile previous works on ocular films. Various sources of information collected were from the internet and research journals, which have been employed. Thanks to the extensive article collection of the team, it was possible to study and review all the available ocular films in the research. The article summarizes the ocular films' general preparation methods and evaluation tests. Ophthalmic preparation methods and eye diseases were discussed. The combination of drugs with polymers was discussed. This will help in a quick review of drugs and polymers that were successfully tried in making ocular films and the common evaluation approaches.
