The use of laboratory animals in toxicology: an ophthalmoscopic assessment.
In a recent text by Grant (3), approximately 2,800 substances are listed as having some type of untoward effect on ocular tissue. The kinds of substances that may cause toxic damage/effects range from carbolic acid (2) to oxygen (1). It is the purpose of this communication to briefly review ocular toxicology as investigated in laboratory animals.
