Other effects:
Corneal ulceration was observed in 5/6 animals up to 72 h. In 1/6 animals corneal ulceration was observed at 1 h and was reversible within 24 h. Circumcorneal injections were observed in all animals up to 72 h. In addition congestion of the iris was observed in 2/6 (48 h) and 3/6 (72 h) animals. Permanent myosis was observed in 4/6, 3/6, 3/6, and 2/6 animals at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Irritating (according to CLP regulation)
Conclusions:
A generally reliable study, conducted according to OECD 405 and GLP but with shorter observation than required, reported that the neat test material caused significant irritation to the conjunctiva, iris and cornea of rabbits which remained at the end of the 72-h observation period.

Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation/corrosion test was performed in accordance with OECD 405 and GLP. Test item butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime caused significant irritation to the conjunctiva, iris and cornea of rabbits which remained at the end of the 72-h observation period.
