Dry Eye Syndrome Models

APPLICATIONS:

  • Dry eye syndrome (DES), dry eye disease (DED)
  • Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)

 

PRECLINICAL EFFICACY MODELS:

  • Extraorbital lacrimal gland excision
  • Scopolamine-induced dry eye syndrome
  • Controlled-environmental conditions and scopolamine-induced dry eye syndrome

 

EXAMPLE OF EVALUATIONS:

  • Superficial punctate keratitis (slit lamp examination)
  • Tear secretion (phenol red threat (PRT) tear test)
  • Histology analysis
  • Bioassays (eg. RT-qPCR, multiplex assay, ELISA)
