- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue (e.g. transport time, transport media and temperature, and other conditions): Chicken heads were transported to the laboratory in a plastic container at ambient temperature. During the transport, the heads were humidified with a physiological salt solution by placing moistened paper towels inside the container.

Only eyeballs without damage were analyzed (fluorescein retention and opacity profusion scores fell below 0.5). Eyeballs with corneal thickness deviating more than 10% from the mean value for all eyeballs were also replaced.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
After a careful excision of the eyelids so as not to damage the cornea, the eyeball surface was treated with a 2% fluorescein solution (w/v) for a few seconds in order to evaluate the corneal integrity. After the removal of the dye by rinsing the corneal surface with a physiological salt solution, fluorescein retention and corneal opacity scores were determined using the slit-lamp microscope BP 900 LED (HAAG STREIT) to ensure that the cornea was undamaged. Only eyeballs without damage were analyzed (fluorescein retention and opacity profusion scores fell below 0.5).
The enucleated eyeball was mounted in a stainless steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically. The clamp was then transferred to the superfusion apparatus so that the entire cornea was supplied with the physiological salt drip.
After the insertion of the eyeballs to the apparatus, another evaluation of corneal opacity and swelling was performed. Eyeballs with the corneal opacity and/or fluorescein retention score higher than 0.5 or some additional signs of damage were replaced. Eyeballs with corneal thickness deviating more than 10% from the mean value for all eyeballs were also replaced. The corneal thickness was determinated using the depth measuring device no. 1 on the slit-lamp microscope and an SP-100 pachymeter (TOMEY).
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
Prior to the application of the test item and the control items, all examined and approved eyeballs were incubated at temperature of 32°C ± 1.5°C for 45-60 minutes in order to equilibrate them to the test system. During the incubation, the eyeballs were continuously supplied with physiological salt at constant temperature of 32 ± 1.5°C and in the average volume of 0.10-0.15 mL/min.
After that, a zero reference measurement for corneal thickness and opacity was recorded. It served as a baseline (i.e. time = 0). The fluorescein score determined at dissection served as the baseline measurement for that endpoint.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: physiological salt.
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: 10 % acetic acid.
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: 0.03 mL of test ítem, negative and positive control applied for 10 seconds each.
OBSERVATION PERIOD
The corneas treated with the test item and the control items were evaluated pretreatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
At all observation times points, corneal opacity and swelling were evaluated, whereas morphological changes of the corneal surface were recorded. The quantitative determination of fluorescein retention was performed only at 30 minutes after the end of the exposure.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: The corneal surface were rinsed from the eye with 20 mL of physiological salt at ambient temperature. Additional rinsing was not necessary.
- Indicate any deviation from test procedure in the Guideline: No deviations
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: slit-lamp microscope BP 900 LED (HAAG STREIT)
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: slit-lamp microscope BP 900 LED (HAAG STREIT)
- Swelling: measured with optical pachymeter on a slit-lamp microscope; slit-width setting: slit-lamp microscope and an SP-100 pachymeter (TOMEY)
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: slit-lamp microscope BP 900 LED (HAAG STREIT)
- Others (e.g, histopathology): Histopathology evaluations: the eyeballs were fixed in a 4% solution of formaldehyde. Next, specimens were collected (one specimen in the plane including the cornea, lens, and optic nerve). The tissue material was dehydrated and prepared using a paraffin technique. Paraffin blocks were cut into smaller parts, whose thickness was 5 μm, with a microtome and stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: the test item is not classified as a severe irritant and not classified as non-irritant
- Conclusions:
- Based on this in vitro eye irritation study, the test item is not classified as a severe irritant and not classified as non-irritant.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro eye irritation study of the test item was performed in isolated chicken’s eyes according to the OECD No. 438 guideline with GLP. After equilibration of the test system and zero reference measurements, the test item, the positive control (10 % acetic acid) and the negative control (physiological salt) were applied to the corneal surface for 10 seconds in a volume of 0.03 mL. Three test item treated eyes, three positive and three negative control treated eyes were examined. After exposure time, they were rinsed from the eye with 20 mL of physiological salt at ambient temperature. Corneal opacity and increased thickness (swelling) were evualuated and morphological changes recorded pretreatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. Fluorescein retention was performed only after 30 minutes of the exposure. At the end of those observations, histopathological examinations were conducted. The results for the test item treated eyes showed a mean fluorescein retention of 1.7 (ICE class III), mean corneal opacity from 0.7 (ICE class II) to 1.3 (II), and a maximal mean corneal swelling of 7.0 % (ICE class II). These results were accepted because the concurrent positive and negative control values fell within the acceptable ranges for the method. Gross examinations did not exhibit any changes of the treated test ítem corneal surface. Histopathological examinations of the corneas treated with the test item revealed: exfoliation (eyeball no. 2), slight vacuolation of the anterior corneal epithelium (eyeballs no. 1, no. 2, no. 3), coagulation, slight exfoliation (eyeballs no. 1, no. 3), very slight erosions (eyeball no. 1) and slight erosions of the superficial layer of the anterior corneal epithelium (eyeballs no. 2, no. 3). Based on this in vitro eye irritation study, the test item is not classified as a severe irritant and not classified as non-irritant since the overall ICE Class was 2xII 1xIII, although it can be concluded, according to the histopathological findings, that the test item has a negative effect on the chicken cornea in the ICE test.
