Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: left eye not treated
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL undiluted test material
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single dose
Observation period (in vivo):
3 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 (3 male, 3 female)
Details on study design:
ADMINISTRATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Introduction of the test material into the lower conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal
- Control: contralateral (left) eye

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: No washing after application
- Time after start of exposure: Approx. 24 h after application , the treated eye was rinsed to remove residual of test material.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Evaluation of ocular irritation: 1, 24, 48 and 78 h after treatment
- Treated and untreated eyes were scored for ocular reactions according to DRAIZE scale
- Fluorescein dye was used to confirm corneal ulceration in treated eyes starting with the 24 h observation until there was no stain retention for
two observations

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Irritation consisted primarily of mild to moderate conjunctival irritation (redness, chemosis, discharge) and iridial changes (with most severe effects
occurring at one hour after application).
All six animals were free of ocular irritation within 24 to 48 hours after application of the test item. The highest effects score after 24 h was 1 for erythemas in 4/6 animals.
