Significant obstacles stand in the way of ocular medication delivery, particularly when it comes to guaranteeing a lengthy residence duration and efficient drug absorption at the site of action. Despite being widely used, traditional eye drops usually only have temporary therapeutic benefits because of their quick clearance processes. In order to provide eye moisturizers for the treatment of dry eye disease, this article examines the design, development, and assessment of ocular inserts as a potential substitute for traditional dosage forms. Ocular implants were made by solvent casting using hydrophilic polymers like Carbopol and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and their mechanical and physicochemical properties were assessed. The inserts' promise for clinical use was established by their exceptional stability, regulated release patterns, and swelling behavior.
