Özet
The use of the healing properties of medicinal plants dates back to ancient times. Herbal products are included in the traditional medicine of many countries. Nowadays, with the advancement in technology and the illumination of structures, bioactive components responsible for the activity in plants can be easily isolated. Thus herbal products can be manufactured by directly using herbal bioactive ingredients. Medicines used in the treatment of ocular diseases are generally applied topically. However, ocular barriers have the capability to reduce the bioavailability of drugs. For this reason, in recent years, using innovative drug delivery systems, it is aimed to increase the duration of drugs in the eye, to obtain extended drug release and increase their bioavailability. In this section, the use of herbal bioactives and natural excipients in the ocular field and their application to the eye as drug delivery systems are examined.
