Description
Summary:Age-related macular degeneration is a degenerative eye condition that affects the macula and results in central vision loss. Phytoconstituents show great promise in the treatment of AMD. AMD therapy can benefit from the advantages of phytoconstituents loaded nanofibers. There are opportunities to improve the effectiveness of phytoconstituents in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) through the use of nanofiber-based delivery methods. These novel platforms encapsulate and distribute plant-derived bioactives by making use of the special qualities of nanofibers. These qualities include their high surface area-to-volume ratio, variable porosity, and biocompatibility. Exploring the use of nanofiber-based delivery methods to provide phytoconstituents in AMD treatment is a great choice for enhancing patient adherence, safety, and efficacy in managing this condition. This article explores the potential of nanofiber-based delivery methods to revolutionize AMD treatment, providing an innovative and effective approach to treat this condition.
