ABSTRACT
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), an emerging nanomaterial, are gaining attention in ophthalmological applications due to their distinctive physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. For example, their inherent fluorescent capabilities offer a novel and promising alternative to conventional fluorescent dyes for ocular disease diagnostics. Furthermore, because of the excellent biocompatibility and minimal cytotoxicity, CQDs are well-suited for therapeutic applications. In addition, functionalized CQDs can effectively deliver drugs to the posterior part of the eyeball to inhibit neovascularization. This review details the use of CQDs in the management of ophthalmic diseases, including various retinal diseases, and ocular infections. While still in its initial phases within ophthalmology, the significant potential of CQDs for diagnosing and treating eye conditions is evident.
