purpose : round-the-clock on-demand availability and corneal cloudiness are the two major problems with animal eyes for surgical practice. the purpose of this investigation is to assess the usability of long-term deep freezing for the preservation of enucleated sheep eyes and the adjunctive role of intracameral cryoprotective agent on corneal clarity. methods : thirty-two enucleated fresh sheep...

Background: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque. Case description: A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed ...

The eyes have it! From the first glimpse of Animal Models in Eye Research comes the realisation that it is not a typical monograph. As well it shouldn’t be. Eyes are, after all, special. It is human nature to be drawn to eyes. So, too, will readers be drawn to this book. The cover is a work of art, with a collage of eyes representing rabbits, toads, mouse embryos and flatworms overlaid on a bac...

Animal models play an important role in understanding tumor growth and may be used to develop novel therapies against human malignancies. The significance of the results from animal experiments depends on the selection of the proper model. Many attempts have been made to create appropriate animal models for uveal melanoma and its characteristic metastatic behavior. One approach is to use transg...
