Why is it important?

Ocular medical devices represent a very wide and promising field of human ophthalmology. In preclinical studies evaluating the safety and/or performance of these ocular MDs, the choice of histologic technique and the focus of the histopathologic evaluation method should take into consideration the following aspects: the specific guidelines possibly associated with the MD or combination product, the ocular compartment in contact with the MD and its specificities, and last the nature of the biomaterial used in the MD.
