Abstract The ocular drug delivery system is considered as crucial and challenging and difficult due to rapid removal of instilled drug due to low resident time in ocular tissues. Moreover, the conventional opthalmic formulations exhibit a short pre-corneal residence time and poor bioavailability. Newer research in ophthalmic drug delivery systems is directed towards incorporation of several drug delivery technologies, that includes to build up systems which is not only extend the contact time of the vehicle at the ocular surface, but which at the same time slow down the removal of the drug. Emulgel is one of the novel strategy widely employed in various ocular problems. Emulgels are nothing but, the combination of emulsion and gel. It is emulsion, either of water in oil or oil in water type, which are gelled by mixing with gelling agent such as HPMC, carbopol etc. Emulgel has several constructive properties such as being thixotropic, emollient, easily spreadable, easily washable, greaseless, non-staining, water-soluble, greater shelf life, bio-friendly, clear and pleasant appearance.
