THE EXPERIMENTAL RABBIT «DRY EYE» MODELS

Abstract

Various experimental rabbit «dry eye» models available for the investigations into different forms and pathogenetic mechanisms of the «dry eye» condition are described with special reference to their advantages and drawbacks. Their understanding is believed to be helpful for the choice of an adequate model for the solution of concrete clinical problems and the development of new methods for the management of the disease being considered. The authors emphasized that the search for new therapeutic methods and the evaluation of the existing ones are impossible without the use of «dry eye» models.
