Abstract
Fungal keratitis is an eye disease that seriously damages vision. At present, anti-fungal eye drops are the main methods to treat fungal keratitis. However, due to the short contact time between anti-fungal eye drops and eye surface, and poor corneal permeability, eye drops are needed to used frequently to maintain the therapeutic concentration of drugs. Frequent topical use of eye drops may be associated with side effects such as congestion and delayed corneal reepithelialization. In recent years, nanomaterials have been found to be a good eye delivery system, which can effectively improve the bioavailability of eye drops and reduce the frequency of eye drops.
