Injections into specific retinal layers of the eye present a serious challenge to surgeons in terms of accuracy and perception. The emergence of new gene therapies further emphasizes the need for effective tools for localized drug delivery. Unlike the dominant approach of delivering drugs via a transvitreal intraocular pathway, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of delivering injections into ...
