Assessing Ocular Toxicology in Laboratory Animals

Ocular toxicity is routinely assessed in toxicology studies conducted for regulatory purposes.  Ocular anatomy and physiology and the assessment of ocular toxicity itself can be challenging to scientists involved in the safety assessment of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other agents. Anatomical and physiological differences between species can impact the nature of ocular effects observed following intended or unintended exposure of ocular tissues to xenobiotics. Ocular Toxicity in Laborat
