Details on study design:
PRETREATMENT OF THE ANIMALS:
Sixty minutes prior to test substance application, buprenorphine was administered at 0.01 mg/kg bw by subcutaneous injection (SC) to provide a therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. Five minutes prior to test substance application, one drop of 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride was applied to each eye.

POST-TREATMENT OF THE ANIMALS:
Eight hours after test substance application, buprenorphine at 0.01 mg/kg and meloxicam at 0.5 mg/kg were administered by SC to provide a continued therapeutic level of systemic analgesia.
After the initial 8 h post- test substance application treatment, buprenorphine was administered at 0.01 mg/kg by SC every 12 hours until the ocular lesions resolved.

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system (1959)

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp (Kowa SL-15, Kowa Co., Ltd., Japan) and fluorescein

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Corneal opacity (score 1), area of the opacity (score 1-4), congestion of the iris (score 1), redness of the conjunctivae (score 1-2), chemosis of the conjunctivae (score 1-3) and discharge (score 1-3) were evident in all 3 animals from one hour after test substance application. Discharge was no longer evident at 72 hours after test substance application. Congestion of the iris was fully reversed within day 6. Redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae were no longer evident on day 9.
Other effects:
Excessive blinking and tearing were evident in the 3 animals at 1 and 8 hours after test substance application. These clinical signs of pain and distress were not evident from day 1 till day 9 after test substance application. In general no abnormal clinical signs or symptoms were evident in any animals throughout the duration of the study. All animals exhibited normal body weight gains. The mean body weight gain throughout the observation period was 0.20 kg.
