Many polymeric systems have been used to fabricate ocular inserts for improve ocular bioavailability and retention to drug of which matrix systems have shown advantages of reduce dosing frequency and increased corneal residence time. The objective of the present investigation was to prepare and evaluate ocular inserts of gatifloxacin.
