Abstract: A nanostructured biocompatible wafer for drug delivery to a tissue. The wafer contains a tissue-reactive mucoadhesive polymer and a mesh formed of a plurality of polymer fibers. Also provided is a method for treating an ocular surface disease, disorder, or infection using the nanostructured biocompatible wafer. Additionally, an injectable sustained-release formulation for treating an ocular disorder is disclosed. The formulation includes a drug contained within a plurality of microparticles formed of a biodegradable polymer and are coated with a tissue-reactive compound. Further provided is a method for treating an ocular disorder by injecting the microparticulate sustained release formulation.
