Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Pyranine was observed to be non – irritating to eyes. Since there was no evidence of substantial toxicity, it was considered that Pyranine can be used safely for the angiography in the human eye.
Executive summary:

In an ocular irritation study conducted on mammals (species - not mentioned), Pyranine was observed to be non – irritating to eyes.Since there was no evidence of substantial toxicity, it was considered that Pyranine can be used safely for the angiography in the human eye.
