Thin-film Nanofibers for Treatment of Age-related Macular Degeneration

•AMD is the leading cause of blindness and is found in elderly patients.•Lutein is a carotenoid and has antioxidant properties hence acting as a neuroprotective in the macular region.•Thin-film nanofiber is a novel strategy for the controlled delivery of drugs in the treatment of posterior segment eye diseases.•Electrospinning is an excellent technique for the production of nanofibers.
