İnsan gözü, fizyolojik yapısı itibarıyla tehlikeli çevresel koşullara ve maddelere maruz kalan hassas bir organdır. Endüstriyel maddeler, çevresel kimyasallar, kozmetikler, kişisel bakım ürünleri ve yanlış uygulandığı takdirde bazı ilaçlar korneada irritasyona, inflamasyona ve hatta görme kaybına bile neden olabilir. Bu nedenle tehlikeli maddelere maruz kalma riskini azaltmak için ilaçların, kozmetiklerin ve bu ürünlerin içerisinde yer alan bileşenlerin test edilerek, göz irritasyon potansiyellerinin değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Günümüzde birçok ilaç ve kimyasal maddenin göz üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmak için birçok in vitro yöntem geliştirilmektedir. Bu yöntemlerin en sık kullanılanları 'yeniden yapılandırılmış insan korneası (RhCE)' modelleridir. RhCE modellerinde, insan kornea hücreleri veya insan derisi keratinositleri gibi hücreler kullanılabilir. RhCE epitel hücrelerinin kullanıldığı sistemlerle ilgili Ekonomik Kalkınma ve İşbirliği Örgütünün Test Kılavuzu, 492 kılavuz yayımlanmıştır. Ayrıca birçok yeni oküler toksisite doku modelinin, gelecekte kullanıma girmesi için çalışmalar devam etmektedir. Ancak ilaç ve biyomedikal sektörlerinde göz irritasyonunu değerlendirmek için hâlâ hayvan deneyleri yapılmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, Avrupa Birliği Kozmetik Komitesi tarafından onaylanan Kozmetik Direktifi (76/768/EEC) ile 2013'ten itibaren kozmetik bileşenler ve bitmiş ürünler için hayvanlar üzerinde test edilmesi tamamen yasaklanmıştır. Kozmetik sektöründe hayvan deneylerinin yasaklanmasıyla birlikte, oküler toksisiteyi değerlendirmek için ex vivo ve in vitro birçok alternatif yöntem geliştirilmiştir. Bu derlemede, oküler toksisite test yöntemlerindeki en son gelişmeler hakkındaki bilgiler özetlenecek, yöntemlerin avantajları ve dezavantajları tartışılacaktır.

Human eye is exposed to dangerous environmental conditions and substances due to its physiological structure. Industrial substances, chemicals, cosmetics, personal care products and some medications when wrongly used can cause ocular irritation, inflammation, or even loss of sight. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous substances, drugs, cosmetics and their ingredients should be tested and evaluated for their eye irritation potentials. Today, several in vitro methods are being developed for the determination of several drugs and chemical substances on eye. The most widely used methods are 'reconstructed human eye cornea (RhCE) models'. In RhCE models, cells of cornea or non-cornea origin human cornea cells or human skin keratinocytes can be used. Concerning RhCE epithelial cell systems, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has published Test Guideline 492. Moreover, there is ongoing research on for the future use of several new ocular toxicity tissue models. However, animal experiments are still carried out in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry for the evaluation of ocular irritation. On the other hand, nimal experiments for cosmetic ingredients and end products have been banned in the European Union, since 2013. With the prohibition of animal experiments in the cosmetics industry, many alternative ex vivo and in vitro methods have been developed to assess ocular toxicity. In this review, information on the latest developments in ocular toxicity test methods will be summarized and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods will be discussed.
