ABSTRACT
In the last few years, there has been a wide growth in the field of phyto-medicine and gaining popularity all over the globe because of their natural origin and lesser side effects. The applications of different phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulations have been widely accepted as delivery systems for various diseases. The application of nanoformulation opened the door in a disease like glaucoma, eye cancer, and other anterior ocular diseases by significantly modifying the properties of drugs and their carriers. It utilized various nanoformulations like nanoparticle, nanoemulsion, nano lipid structure, nano lipid vesicle to transport the different phytoconstituents like curcumin, quercetin, forskolin to the site of action. The greater stability of phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulation is due to the formation of chemical links between lipid molecules and active agents. There are several 208phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulation have depicted a novel delivery system to deliver active compounds to the target site of action, and at present, several nanoformulations are in clinical use. This chapter summarizes the latest research reports regarding the possible administration of phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulations for different ocular diseases.
