Ocular toxicity studies have unique features that require specific technical considerations and pathology reporting expectations. In this webinar, the featured speaker will discuss technical considerations including species selection, anatomic differences and necropsy and histology techniques. In addition, the speaker will discuss pathology reporting expectations such as basic report components, interpretation of findings, adversity determination and ophthalmic examination correlates.
After participating in the webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Describe the ocular anatomic differences between commonly used species and why this is an important consideration in ocular toxicity studies
- Explain the current recommendations for ocular sampling and sectioning
- Summarize the expected components of an ocular toxicity pathology report
Register to learn about the technical considerations and pathology reporting expectations in ocular toxicity studies.
