Retinal Toxicity Studies

Retinal toxicity studies assess whether a substance or drug damages the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye essential for vision. These studies involve examining how exposure affects retinal cells, structure, and function using laboratory tests, animal models, or clinical data. The goal is to identify potential harmful effects early, ensuring drugs or chemicals are safe for human use without impairing vision. These evaluations are a vital part of safety testing for new medications and products impacting eye health.
