title: Mathematical modeling of triamcinolone acetonide drug release from the I-vation intravitreal implant (a controlled release platform).
abstract: In-vitro drug release of triamcinolone acetonide from the I-vation implant can be controlled and tuned by varying its formulation ingredients. These release characteristics can be modeled using a parabolic partial differential equation to describe one dimensional Fickian drug diffusion in a durable polymer matrix.
