Objective:To establish an animal model of conjunctivochalasis by subconjunctival injection of matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 3. Methods:New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, the control group had no intervention measures; Pseudo model group was injected susbconjunctival with normal saline; MMP-1 group was injected subconjunctival with matrix metalloproteinase 1; MMP-3 group was injected subconjunctival with matrix metalloproteinase 3. Afer 8 weeks, the results of anterior segment photography and optical coherence test, tear fern test and conjunctival tissue light microscopy were observed. Results:No conjunctival folds were observed in the control group and Pseudo model group, the lacrimal fern-shaped crystalline structures were intact, and no destruction of collagen and elastic fbers was found under the light microscope. In MMP-1 group, conjunctival folds were formed, lacrimal ferns crystalline structures were damaged, and collagen and elastic fbers were damaged under light microscope. No conjunctival folds were found in MMP-3 group, and the lacrimal ferns crystalline structure was partially destroyed, while the collagen and elastic fibers were partially destroyed under light microscope. Conclusion:Subconjunctival injection of matrix metalloproteinase-1 can construct the animal model of conjunctivochalasis of 1-2 grades.
