- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
Eyes that had a high baseline fluorescein staining (> 0.5) or corneal opacity score (> 0.5) after the enucleation process were rejected. The test item and positive control item groups consisted of three eyes and the negative control item consisted of two eyes. Eyelids were carefully excised whilst taking care not to damage the cornea. The integrity of the cornea was measured with a drop of 2 % (w/v) sodium fluorescein to the surface of the cornea and then rinsed with isotonic saline after a few seconds. The treated eyes were examined with the use of the Haag-Streit BQ 900 (Switzerland) microscope, to examine for damage to the cornea. An acceptable eye for the ICE test was one where the fluorescein retention and corneal opacity scores are ≤ 0.5. Acceptable eyes were dissected from the skull and pulled from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane firmly with surgical forceps. The tissue behind the eye was carefully removed with bent, blunt-tipped scissors. Once the eye was removed from the orbit a portion of the optic nerve remained. Other connective tissue was removed from the eye on an absorbent tray liner. Enucleated eyes were transferred to an appropriate clamp keeping the cornea vertical. They were then transferred to chambers within the superfusion apparatus ensuring the corneas received sufficient isotonic saline from the saline drip. The temperature of the chambers was at 32 ± 1.5 °C. Once all eyes were placed in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined again with the Haag-Streit BQ 900 to ensure the eyes had not been damaged by the dissection procedure. Corneal thickness measurements are taken with a depth measuring device no. 1 on the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit-lamp microscope at the center of each cornea.
Eyes were replaced when:
(i) the fluorescein score was > 0.5
(ii) the corneal opacity score was > 0.5
(iii) there was any additional signs of damage
(iv) the corneal thickness measurements for individual eyes deviated more than 10% from the mean value for all eyes.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
After the approval process the eyes were incubated for 45 minutes for equilibrium purposes. Time zero measurements for corneal thickness and opacity were taken to serve as a baseline. The baseline for the fluorescein measurements were taken at dissection.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
The test item and positive control item groups consisted of three eyes and the negative control item consisted of two eyes.
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
0.9 % Sodium chloride solution
SOLVENT CONTROL USED (if applicable)
n/a
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
5 % benzalkonium chloride
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
0.03 mL for 10 seconds.
OBSERVATION PERIOD
Treated corneas were evaluated prior to treatment and at 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes (±5 minutes) after the eyes had been decontaminated with the isotonic saline.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: Treatments rinsed from the eye using 20 mL of isotonic saline.
- Indicate any deviation from test procedure in the Guideline: No
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Corneal opacity was calculated with the most densely opacified areas for scoring. The mean value for all test eyes was calculated for all time points. The highest mean score, as observed at any time point was given an overall category for each test item.
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: The mean fluorescein retention scores for all test eyes are calculated at the 30 minute time interval only. These measurements are used for the overall classification for each test item.
- Swelling: Corneal thickness measurements are taken with a depth measuring device no. 1 on the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit-lamp microscope at the center of each cornea. Mean percentage of corneal swelling for all test eyes was calculated for all the time points. The overall category score was determined from the highest mean score for epithelial swelling as observed at any time point
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: Pitting, sloughing, roughening of the corneal surface, and adhering of test item are all morphological effects that can be noted on the cornea. The classification of these findings was subject to interpretation.
- Others (e.g, histopathology): No
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Mean corneal swelling (%): ((corneal thickness at time (t) - corneal thickness at t0) / corneal thickness at t0) * 100
- Mean maximum opacity score: Scoring from 0 - 4
- Mean fluorescein retention score: Scoring from 0 - 3
DECISION CRITERIA: please specify if the decision criteria as indicated in the TG was used. Yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- No prediction for eye irritation can be made following assessment of the data for all endpoints.
- Executive summary:
OECD 438 (2017) - The study was performed to evaluate the possible corrosivity or severe irritancy potential of the test item as measured by its ability to induce toxicity in an enucleated chicken eye.
0.03 mL of the test item was applied onto the cornea of each of three enucleated eyes. A further three enucleated eyes were treated with positive control item. A further two enucleated eyes were treated with saline for control purposes.
After 240 mins incubation (post rinsing) the mean corneal opacity of the chicken eyes was scored as 1.0 (ICE Class II), after 30 minutes the mean fluorescein retention scored as 0.2 (ICE Class I); and after 240 mins mean maximal corneal thickness scored as +6.05 % (ICE Class II).
The combination of the three endpoints resulted in an overall ICE score of 1 x I and 2 x II, thereby no classification for eye irritation could be made.
