Abstract
There is described a method for delivering exogenous biomolecules into an eye. The method generally has the steps of injecting, into a region of the eye, a mixture having a plurality of exogenous biomolecules and a plurality of plasmonic structures, the plasmonic structures having a plasmonic resonance wavelength, the plasmonic structures adjoining membranes of target cells in said region due to said injecting; and irradiating said region of said eye with a laser beam having a wavelength being offset to said plasmonic resonance wavelength, said irradiating causing the plasmonic structures to form pores in said membranes of said target cells, allowing at least some of the exogenous biomolecules to be delivered into the target cells via said pores.
