Our expertise

- glaucoma (rat and mice animal models using polystyren beads, episcleral veins cautherization)

- acute optic neuropathies (optic nerve crush, optic nerve transection)

- diabetic retinopathy (streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia)

- ex vivo retinal explants culture (retinal drug testing)

- in vivo microsurgical technics in experimental ophthalmology (optic nerve transection with preservation of the central retinal artery, optic nerve crush model, intravitreal injections, virus transduction of the elements of visual pathway, glaucoma models)

- cell and gene therapies (HuR gene, Metallothioneins, peripheral nerve predegeneration products, Schwann cells)

- electrophysiology (flash ERG, pattern ERG, flash VEP, pattern VEP in mice and rats)

- prostaglandin analogue eyedrops and latent inflammation
