Review Description

The possibilities of using the chick embryo and its individual structures as a model system in experimental ophthalmology are considered. Cultures of the retina and spinal ganglia from chick embryos are used in the development of new methods for the treatment of glaucomatous optic neuropathy and ischemic optic neuropathy. The chorioallantoic membrane is used for modelling vascular pathologies of the eye, screening of anti-VEGF drugs, and assessing biocompatibility of implants. Co-culturing of chick embryo nervous tissue and human corneal cells makes it possible to study the processes of corneal reinnervation. The use of chick embryo cells and tissues in the “organ-on-a-chip” system opens up wide opportunities for fundamental and applied ophthalmological studies.
