Resum

Rabbits are currently not suitable to be used as an animal model of corneal endothelial disorders because their corneal endothelial cells (CEC) maintain a highly proliferative capacity in vivo. A recent ex vivo study suggests that intracameral injection (ICI) of 0.1 mL 0.05% benzalkonium chloride (BAC) in rabbits produces a selective endothelial damage. This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of BAC ICI in rabbits in vivo to define the most appropriate BAC dose for inducing a rabbit model of corneal endothelial disease.
