Did you know that some medications can be administered intraocularly?

Really? I had no idea they could be given that way.

Root Explanation

Intraocularly → It is formed from "intra-" (meaning within) and "oculus" (meaning eye) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly". The word describes something that occurs within the eye.

Memory Tip

Think of 'intra-' meaning 'within' and 'oculus' meaning 'eye' — so intraocularly refers to something happening within the eye.
