Customized In Vivo Ocular Models

Animal models of ocular diseases are powerful tools for evaluating ophthalmic drugs' efficacy. As a contract research organization for preclinical ophthalmology research, Ace Therapeutics provides global customers with eye disease animal models covering multiple species, for example, rodent eye disease models, zebrafish eye disease models, rabbit eye disease models, etc., to achieve targeted and significant preclinical drug discovery and development programs. With the wealth of information we have on models for each ocular disease, our talented scientists can also help you choose the most appropriate model and assay to meet the specific needs of a particular compound or discovery program.

Animal Models of Ocular Diseases

Why Do You Need Animal Models of Ocular Disease?

Due to the complexity of the pathogenesis of ocular diseases, there are limitations in time and space when using humans as research objects to explore the pathogenesis of diseases. Many experiments are also limited in ethics and methods. With the help of indirect research on animal models of ocular diseases, it is more convenient and accurate to observe the experimental results of the models and conduct comparative studies with human diseases, which helps to more effectively understand the occurrence and development of eye diseases and find preventive measures. In addition, at the development stage of ophthalmic drugs, observing the effects of drugs on animal models of eye diseases can help scientists predict the effects of drugs on humans. Therefore, suitable animal models of eye diseases, such as monkeys, mice, rats, and zebrafish, are very valuable for studying the molecular mechanisms of eye diseases and testing new therapeutic interventions.
