Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics coverage includes:

  • Drug discovery and development
  • Mechanisms of drug action
  • Drug delivery, nanomedicine, and nanotechnology
  • Biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and mathematical modeling
  • Drug transporters and drug metabolism
  • Pre-clinical and early-stage clinical trial results
  • Gene and cell-based therapies
  • Combination products
  • Ocular pharmacotherapy/clinical trials/biomarkers
  • Ocular toxicology and toxicokinetics
  • Dry eye and ocular surface diseases
  • Corneal diseases
  • Glaucoma and optic neuropathies
  • Retinal diseases
  • Lens and cataract
  • Ocular infection and trauma
  • Ocular inflammatory and immune disorders
  • Ocular ischemia and blood flow
  • Ocular metabolic disorders
  • Ocular pain
  • Oculomotor complications
  • Proliferative disorders of the eye
  • Therapeutics for myopia and refractive errors
  • Therapeutics for strabismus, ambylopia, and visual processing
  • Eyes on New Product Development — written by Gary D. Novack, PhD, featuring the latest updates on drug and device pipeline developments as well as policy/regulatory changes by the FDA
