Polymers play an important role in ophthalmic formulations. However, it is difficult to select the best grade of polymer which provides the desired viscosity as well as ease in formulation development. This webinar will present case studies and benchmarking of various polymers commonly applied in ophthalmics, highlighting the importance of PVA and providing guidance for best practices to handle this polymer. PVA is a synthetic grade polymer with high batch-to-batch consistency available in different grades, low to high viscosity. It offers great opportunities for ophthalmic formulations as it can be used for different applications like lubrication, viscosity modification, stabilization and sustained release.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Different functions of polymers
- Unique properties of Poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) relevant for ophthalmics
- Best practices to handle PVA
