Abstract
The article presents results obtained on several types of model cultures. Primary cultures of corneal epithelial cells and fibroblast-like cells from the limbus were obtained from the tissues of the anterior eye segment. Tests were performed on these cultures to determine the cytotoxicity of antiglaucoma drugs and to trial a protection method. In addition, a comparative analysis of the regenerative potential of various blood derivatives was carried out. An in vitro culture of endotheliocytes showed a correlation between the degree of damaging effects of antiglaucoma drugs of various groups and the content of the preservative benzalkonium chloride in their composition. Corneal keratocytes were used to create a cell sheet reflecting the main structural features of the stroma and suitable for biomechanical tests. The antifibrotic activity of the drugs was tested on the culture of fibroblasts from the nasolacrimal duct. The conducted studies demonstrate that cell cultures can be used as an informative model object for researching the pathogenesis of ophthalmic diseases and for testing drugs.
