Targeted non-surgical administration of a nucleic acid formulation to the suprachoroidal space (SCS) of the eye of a human subject permits effective treatment of ocular disorders, including posterior ocular or choroidal maladies. In one embodiment, the method comprises inserting a hollow microneedle into the eye at an insertion site and infusing a nucleic acid formulation through the inserted microneedle and into the suprachoroidal space of the eye. The infused nucleic acid formulation flows within the suprachoroidal space away from the insertion site. In one embodiment, the fluid nucleic acid formulation comprises nucleic acid nanoparticles consisting of one molecule of nucleic acid.
