Ocular toxicity represents a critical aspect of drug safety evaluation, with systemic administration of pharmaceuticals often leading to various ocular adverse reactions. These reactions can serve as a marker for potential toxicity, shedding light on the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs.
At Creative Bioarray, our dedication to ocular toxicology research enables us to provide comprehensive support throughout the phases of preclinical development. We utilize a range of advanced techniques such as electroretinography (ERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus angiography, among others, to conduct thorough pharmacology and toxicology assessments.
Specialized Ocular Toxicology Assessments
Our ocular toxicology services cover a broad spectrum of studies designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutics. Key offerings include:
- Lacrimation Assessment: Evaluating tear production as an indicator of ocular health.
- Pupillary Diameter Testing: Assessing changes in pupil size in response to pharmacological agents.
- Irritation and Sensitization Studies: Investigating how ocular tissues respond to potential irritants.
- Contact Lens and Implant Toxicity: Analyzing the biocompatibility of ocular devices.
- Ocular Toxicity from Various Routes of Administration: Evaluating effects of intravitreal, periocular, subretinal, and other methods of drug delivery.
Increasing Importance of Ocular Toxicity Evaluation
With the introduction of numerous new drugs, reports on drug-induced ocular toxicity have been on the rise. Thorough documentation of these adverse effects is essential to determining causation. Each test at Creative Bioarray is conducted by qualified ophthalmologists, collaborating with experienced pathologists to ensure a comprehensive interpretation of results.
By employing our extensive expertise in ocular toxicology, pharmaceutical companies can navigate the complexities of ocular safety evaluations with confidence.
