Abstract The ocular insert represents a significant advancement in the therapy of eye disease. Ocular inserts are defined as sterile, thin, multilayered, drug-impregnated, solid or semisolid consistency devices placed into the cul-de-sac or conjunctival sac, whose size and shape are especially designed for ophthalmic application. They are composed of a polymeric support that alter release of the drug. The drug can later be incorporated as dispersion or a solution in the polymeric support. They have several advantages as increased ocular residence and sustained release of medication into the eye. The insert includes a body portion sized to position within a lachrymal canaliculus of the eyelid. The inserts are classified according to their solubility as insoluble, soluble, or bioerodible inserts. The release of drug from the insert depends upon the diffusion, osmosis and bioerosion of the drug, and this article is an attempt to present a brief about this newer drug delivery system.
