Sustainable retinal codelivery poses significant challenges technically, although it is imperative for synergistic treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD). Here, a microemulsion-doped hydrogel (Bor/PT-M@TRG) is engineered as an intravitreal depot composing of temperature-responsive hydrogel (TRG) and borneol-decorated paeoniflorin (PF) & tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-coloaded microemulsions (Bor/PT-M). Bor/PT-M@TRG, functioning as the “ammunition depot”, resides in the vitreous and continuously releases Bor/PT-M as the therapeutic “bullet”, enabling deep penetration into the retina for 21 days. A single intravitreal injection of Bor/PT-M@TRG yields substantial reductions in choroidal neovascularization (CNV, a hallmark feature of wAMD) progression and mitigates oxidative stress-induced damage in vivo. Combinational PF&TMP regulates the “reactive oxygen species/nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1” pathway and blocks the “hypoxia inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor” signaling in retina, synergistically cutting off the loop of CNV formation. Utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, they present compelling multifaceted evidence of sustainable retinal codelivery spanning formulations, ARPE-19 cells, in vivo eye balls, and ex vivo section/retina-choroid complex cell levels. Such codelivery approach is elucidated as the key driving force behind the exceptional therapeutic outcomes of Bor/PT-M@TRG. These findings highlight the significance of sustainable retinal drug codelivery and rational combination for effective treatment of wAMD.
