Ocular Toxicology Studies
Ocular Toxicology and Safety Assessment
CBI offers both exploratory proof-of-concept toxicity and tolerability studies, and complete preclinical GLP toxicology and safety assessment studies suitable for regulatory submission for ophthalmic drugs, biologics, antibodies and proteins, and devices. CBI is versed in ocular toxicology studies employing stem cells, contact lens and punctal plugs as well as other surgically implanted ocular and intra-ocular devices. We have specialized techniques including OCT, ERG, tonometry, pachymetry and fundus angiography available for toxicology and pharmacology assessments.
