## TL;DR

This paper reviews how micro-nano robots can be used to treat eye diseases by delivering drugs precisely to the back of the eye.

## Contribution

The paper provides a comprehensive review of fabrication methods and propulsion mechanisms of micro-nano robots for ophthalmic applications.

## Key findings

- Micro-nano robots can penetrate eye tissue barriers for targeted drug delivery.
- They offer non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment for posterior eye conditions.
- The review highlights fabrication and propulsion techniques relevant to eye disease treatment.

## Abstract

In recent years, micro-nano robots have found extensive applications in the field of medicine. Among these, micro-nano robots demonstrate significant potential for the treatment of eye diseases. Micro-nano robots can penetrate eye tissue barriers to directly target the posterior segment of the eye for precise drug delivery, enabling non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment. This review explores the primary fabrication methods and propulsion mechanisms of various micro-nano robots, and their applications in treating various eye conditions, offering inspiration and guidance for advancing the use of micro-nanorobots in ophthalmic therapies.
