Q1: What methods are used to induce corneal wounds in your animal models? A: We utilize well-established and highly reproducible methods, such as mechanical scraping of the epithelium or chemical injury (e.g., alkali burns). This allows us to accurately replicate clinical corneal defects and stromal injuries based on your specific study requirements.

Q2: How do you monitor the wound healing process over time? A: Our experts track the recovery continuously using non-invasive techniques like slit-lamp biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein staining. These advanced imaging readouts are a core component of our corneal wound healing model services, ensuring the precise measurement of epithelial closure and scar formation.

Q3: Can this model be used to evaluate both small molecules and biologics? A: Yes, the model is highly versatile. It is routinely used to assess the safety, tolerability, and in vivo efficacy of various therapeutic modalities, including small molecule drugs, recombinant proteins, and novel gene therapies targeted at accelerating ocular tissue repair.
