Detection and responses to light are common features found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. In most primitive life forms, a patch of light-sensitive cells make up a region containing a cell sheet devoid of any specialized anatomical structure. With the development of the eyes in more advanced life forms, light-sensing structures became more complex but primitive eyes are still in contiguity with other body tissues and fluids. The evolution of the eyeball promoted an increase in visual acuity and visual processing that, in turn, allowed vision to become the dominant sensory system for many species, including humans. The formation ... Read more

Reviews for Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery
From the reviews: “The ophthalmic structures and tissues present a series of mechanisms necessary to homeostasis maintenance, in order to enable and support the vision function. … this book is indicated for physicians, pharmacologists, pharmacotechnicians, and investigators who wish to understand and study the complex processes of transportation and homeostasis of ocular globe, as well as to develop and ...
