Corneal iontophoresis consists of the transfer of ionically charged molecules into the tissues to be treated, by means of a low-intensity electric field. For corneal iontophoresis treatment, a pair of electrodes connected to a direct current generator is applied to the patient. Various drugs are hosted among these molecules. The transit speed of the ionic molecules can be increased by varying the electric current intensity or the characteristics of the preparation. Therefore, by applying the electrode with the drug on the treatment area and the other at a maximum distance of about 10/20 cm, electric current will convey the drug into the tissues, since the ions of the drug will migrate toward the opposite pole until complete absorption has occurred. — To know more: www.keratoconuscenter.eu/corneal-iontophoresis — @keratoconuscentereurope — #iontophoresis #eye #treatment #cornea #electric #medicaltreatment #eyecare #ionicmolecules #electrode #ophthalmology #drug #eyetreatment #quicktreatment #safe #safe #effective #trusted #specialists #bestexperts #ophthalmology #harmless #optical #crosslinking #innovative #oculardisease #drugdelivery #transcorneal #ocular #transscleral #moleculartransferA post shared by Keratoconus Center Europe (@keratoconuscentereurope) on May 24, 2017 at 7:40am PDT
