It is still unknown what characteristics lipid nanoparticles should have to successfully treat human eye illnesses. The in vitro and in vivo investigations covered in this review, however, present encouraging results. To improve encapsulation effectiveness and disease gene silencing, nanoparticle formulation is essential. The most stable nanoparticles are those made mostly of cationic lipids, PEG lipids, and cholesterol, which also effectively encapsulate RNA. The encapsulation efficiency is not only influenced by size, but also by other factors such as methods of preparation.
