Abstract
The study of ocular drug penetration may take into account many factors con nected to the ophthalmic route specificity: anatomical barriers of the eye, solubility, molecular weight and eyedrops concentration. The factors influencing ocular drug penetration are reviewed. The broad out lines of research focuses now on an increase of the bioavailability, a best tolerability and a reduction of systemic effects of drugs.
