Introduction to Special Issue on Ocular Pathology and Drug Development.

Abstract:

:Dysfunction of the visual system remains a leading cause of human disability worldwide. Preclinical studies are a key component of efforts to develop drugs and devices to ameliorate visual impairment. Although new opportunities for the delivery of targeted ocular therapeutics have been created, clinical success has been confounded by unique challenges of drug development for the eye. This Special Issue brings together a broad range of articles that augment our current understanding of the visual system and highlight methods for assessing ocular toxicity and some of the current challenges in ocular drug development. Topics addressed include the anatomy, developmental anatomy, and/or immunobiology of the visual system and associated lymphoid tissues; animal models; methods for assessing ocular toxicity; spontaneous background and procedure-related microscopic findings and common artifacts in histologic sections of ocular tissues; and novel ocular drug delivery systems.
