The authors examined the possibility of the usage of ionic soft contact lenses for intraocular delivery of antibiotics for prophylaxis of intraocular infection in open combat trauma of the eyes during the stages of medical evacuation to the local military conflicts, as well as to the hospital before elective surgery. It is proved high efficiency lens, moxifloxacin and levofloxacin saturated to prevent inflammatory complications of the eyes.

Intraocular malignant tumors are rare; however, they can cause serious life-threatening complications. Uveal melanoma (UM) and retinoblastoma (RB) are the most common intraocular tumors in adults and children, respectively, and come with a great disease burden. For many years, several different treatment modalities for UM and RB have been proposed, with chemotherapy for RB cases and plaque radiation therapy for localized UM as first-line treatment options.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of central vision loss in the elderly population. Bevacizumab, a full-length humanized monoclonal anti-VEGF antibody, is commonly used off-label drug to treat AMD. However, the dosing regimen of bevacizumab and other anti-VEGF antibodies requires monthly intravitreal injections followed by regular intravitreal injections at 4-16-week intervals.
