Nasolacrimal Lavage as a Treatment for Ocular Surface Toxic Soup Syndrome03:40

Nasolacrimal Lavage as a Treatment for Ocular Surface Toxic Soup Syndrome

1.1K
OSTSS leads to pooled inflammatory mediators in the tear film, causing symptoms like epiphora and discomfort. Here, we present a case where therapeutic nasolacrimal lavage every 2 months resolved epiphora and itchiness, suggesting its efficacy as a therapeutic intervention for OSTSS. Additionally, we report subjective improvements in symptoms in 3 additional...

The present protocol describes the cross-sectional research performed on 40 healthy subjects between the ages of 20 and 45 to assess the prevalence of dry eye syndrome (DES) during COVID-19. The OSDI survey evaluated DES, and the advanced ophthalmic systems (AOS) software was used to assess limbal...

Sample Preparation for Mass-spectrometry-based Proteomics Analysis of Ocular Microvessels

11.9K
Proteome characterization of ocular microvascular beds is pivotal for in-depth understanding of many ocular pathologies in humans. This study demonstrates an effective, rapid, and robust method for protein extraction and sample preparation from small blood vessels employing the porcine short posterior ciliary arteries as model vessels for mass-spectrometry-based proteomics...

Experimental Glaucoma Induced by Ocular Injection of Magnetic Microspheres

17.8K
We present a method for inducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), by injecting magnetic microspheres into the rat eye, to model glaucoma. This leads to strong pressure rises, and extensive neuronal death. This protocol is easy to perform, does not require repeat injections, and produces stable long-lasting IOP...

Summary

The Draize eye test for ocular irritation is limited. Modified versions and in-vitro/ex-vivo alternatives show promise for assessing chemical safety, potentially reducing animal testing.

Area of Science:

  • Ocular Toxicology
  • Chemical Safety Assessment

Background:

  • Superficial ocular tissues are vulnerable to chemical damage from cosmetic, therapeutic, or accidental exposures.
  • Objective and reproducible methods are needed to assess potential ocular tissue damage.
  • The current standard, the Draize eye test, has limitations in its predictability and reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the limitations of the Draize eye test.
  • To evaluate modified versions and alternative methods for ocular irritation testing.
  • To explore methods for minimizing unwanted ocular effects from chemical exposures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing literature on the Draize eye test and its modifications.
  • Review of studies on in-vitro and ex-vivo alternatives to the Draize eye test.

  • Evaluation of the predictivity of modified testing protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • The Draize eye test has recognized limitations.
    • Modified versions, such as the low-volume Draize eye test, demonstrate good predictivity.
    • Emerging in-vitro and ex-vivo alternatives show potential for ocular irritation assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • The Draize eye test remains a reference despite criticisms.
    • Alternative methods are being developed to improve ocular irritancy testing.
    • A combination of alternative methods may be necessary to fully identify irritants and reduce animal use.
