Ocular Testing Services That Advance Therapeutic Development
Precision-Driven Preclinical Ocular Testing Services
At Pharmaron, our preclinical ocular services are designed to accelerate ophthalmic drug development by providing in-depth scientific insights, comprehensive test models, and advanced diagnostics. With validated in vivo and ex vivo models, we support small-molecule, biologic, cell, and gene therapy innovations targeting a wide range of ocular conditions.
Whether you’re developing treatments for retinal degeneration or assessing drug-eluting ocular implants, our testing services provide the translational relevance needed to make confident decisions early in your pipeline.
Unlocking Results with Purpose-Built Preclinical Ocular Efficacy Testing
Real-World Study Conditions. Quantifiable Outcomes:
Our preclinical ocular efficacy testing supports therapeutic programs for diseases affecting both the anterior and posterior segments. From wet and dry AMD to uveitis and diabetic retinopathy, Pharmaron’s models are optimized to mimic human pathophysiology.
Key Study Types:
- Pharmacokinetics & Biodistribution – Quantitative tissue dissection and LC-MS/MS or ELISA analysis
- Safety & Toxicology – Non-GLP and GLP studies including histopathology and clinical pathology
- Ocular Efficacy Testing – Disease progression, healing, pain mitigation, neovascularization
- Ex Vivo Permeability – Assays using cornea, conjunctiva, retina, vitreous, and more
Integrated, Species-Diverse Preclinical Ocular Testing Services
