Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to provide consensus for the harmonization of preclinical terminology for ultimate adoption on studies submitted to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global regulatory agencies. Included is a list of descriptive-based terminology for anatomical subsections of the eye with associated definitions and synonyms. We are recommending use of this harmonized terminology for description of common lesions observed spontaneously or associated with test article-induced changes. The tables provided contain listings for all necessary base-root lesions, while recommended modifiers are addressed in the section text. Additionally, there are representative images for selected lesions to provide the reader specific examples of the ocular changes they may encounter on ophthalmology examinations.
Endorsed by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO).
