Ophthalmology Animal Models

Ophthalmology Animal Model Services

Pharmaron provides ocular disease animal models to help evaluate compound efficacy in disorders affecting the eye. Combining reliable preclinical disease models with multimodal imaging and histology can progress the pipeline forward. Our scientists are at the forefront of ophthalmic drug development.

We have access to board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists and onsite support from attending veterinarians to ensure the study is conducted in compliance and accordance with animal welfare. Pharmaron has experience with many key ocular disease models, including sophisticated compound delivery in ocular compartments, comprehensive evaluation and imaging for both the front and back of the eye, to help evaluate your drug’s efficacy.

Dose routes: topical, intrastromal, intracameral, intravitreal, suprachoroidal, subretinal, subconjunctival, subtenon
