Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods for administering formulations to the suprachoroidal space of the eye to achieve targeted drug delivery to a desired site of action within the eye. The methods include using a pushing formulation that includes a material such as a gel that expands due to physiochemical cues; or using an electric field to affect the movement of a formulation within the suprachoroidal space; or a combination of a pushing formulation with an electric field.
