Abstract

Animals have similar ocular surface physiology, epithelial cell structure, immune response, innervation, and tear film structure like humans. Therefore, animals have served for decades in the development and clinical testing of topical eye drops for dry eye disease (DED) [1]. On the other hand, eye drops originally developed for human use are routinely used in the treatment of ocular diseases in animals.
