Ocular
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-013360
Relating to or affecting the eye, its structures, or the sense of sight. In toxicology, this descriptor is used for exposure routes, administration methods, or adverse effects involving the eye, such as when a chemical is applied directly to the cornea or conjunctiva. Ocular toxicity studies evaluate specific effects like corneal opacity, iritis, and conjunctivitis, which are scored to classify the irritancy potential of a substance.
