To explore a method for establishing a model of ocular accommodative spasm in guinea pigs by using different concentrations of carbachol eye drops and different frequency of administration.

Eighteen healthy guinea pigs were selected to establish models for both eyes. Guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was modeled with carbachol eye drops at a concentration of 2 ml:0.1 mg, and group B was modeled with carbachol eye drops at a concentration of 4 ml:0.1 mg. The two groups were further randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method. Three groups of guinea pigs were established: In the A1, B1 group, the drug was administered one time/day; in the A2, B2 group, the drug was administered two times/day; and in the A3, B3 group, the drug was administered three times/day. Before modeling, retinoscopy optometry was performed on the guinea pigs without mydriasis and mydriasis, and a refractive state was recorded. On subsequent days, modeling was performed again, and carbachol eye drops were administered using the same administration times. Retinoscopy was performed in a dark room without mydriasis on days 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21, and the data were recorded. After optimizing the modeling method, the ciliary muscle tissue of the model guinea pig and normal guinea pig were obtained for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of paraffin sections to compare the morphological differences under a light microscope.

(1) There was no statistical significance in the interaction of time*0 d and time*drug frequency between group A and group B (P > 0.05). However, the main effect of different dose times varied between group A and group B (P < 0.05), and the modeling effect of three drops was better. (2) The overall modeling methods of groups A and B were not affected by the time factor, but three doses of carbachol eye drops achieved the best modeling effect on the 7th day, and the diopter of guinea pigs stabilized on the 14th and 21st days. (3) To further optimize the medication, the A and B groups were given three drops. On the 7th day, the refractive data of guinea pigs were compared between the groups, and the refractive status of the two groups of guinea pigs before modeling was compared within the groups. There was no statistical difference between the groups (P > 0.05), and there was a statistical difference within the groups (P < 0.05). (4) In the H&E staining of paraffin sections, the color of the ciliary muscle of the guinea pig with spasm of accommodation was darker than that of the normal guinea pig, and the myofilaments were more closely arranged.

(1) Carbachol has the effect of contracting the ciliary muscle; (2) Three drops of 2 ml:0.1 mg or 4 ml:0.1 mg of carbachol eye drops can be selected for seven days for modeling.
