Eyes transport solution (HBSS);
Complete EMEM (with and without phenol red);
Sodium fluorescein solution - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- exposition of the corneas in horizontal position for 10 ± 1 minutes, incubated in a liquid bath at 32 ± 1°C. After exposure, corneas were rinsed thoroughly with complete EMEM with phenol red (3 washings with 3 mL each). A final wash with prewarmed complete EMEM without phenol red was carried out. Finally, the anterior chamber was re-filled with pre-warmed complete EMEM without phenol red.
POST-EXPOSURE: Corneas were maintained in horizontal position, for further 2 hours ± 10 minutes, incubated in a liquid bath at 32 ± 1°C. - Observation period (in vivo):
- Visual observation of corneas through chamber glasses and opacity determination;
Permeability determination after incubation. - Details on study design:
- PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
1) Eyes were examined for the presence of any defects (opacity, scratches or pitting of the corneal surface, vascularisation or pigmentation);
2) Cornea excision: each cornea with 2-3 mm of surrounding sclera was dissected from the eye using a scalpel, scissors and forceps and placed into a Petri dish containing HBSS (Hanks balanced salt solution);
3) Mounting in the chamber with the endothelial surface of the cornea placed in contact with the O-ring of the posterior part of the chamber. In the correct position; the chamber was then filled with complete EMEM without phenol red maintained at 32 ± 1°C (posterior part of the chamber first to maintain convexity).
4) Equilibration: the corneas in their holders were incubated in a liquid bath at 32 ± 1°C at least for 1 hour to permit metabolic stabilisation.
At the end of the pre-dose incubation period, the two chambers were drained (anterior first) and re-filled with complete EMEM without phenol red maintained at approximately 32°C (posterior first).
5) Selection: basal opacity of corneas was determined by means of a calibrated meter, measuring difference in light transmission between the corneas placed into the beam paths versus air (opacitometer).
Cornea s with a basal value >= 7 arbitrary units were excluded from testing.
6) Determination of the mean opacity of the cornea;
METHOD
Test item: open chamber for a viscous substance;
Positive and negative controls: closed chamber method for free-flowing substances.
The medium was completely removed from the anterior chamber. Corneas were treated with 0.75 mL of treatment volumes. After that, in the chambers the treatment was removed and corneas were exposed in horizontal position for 10 ± 1 minutes, incubated in a liquid bath at 32 ± 1°C. After a first washing with complete EMEM with phenol red (3 washings with 3 mL each) a final wash with pre-warmed complete EMEM without phenol red was carried out. Finally, the anterior chamber was re-filled with pre-warmed complete EMEM without phenol red. Corneas were maintained in horizontal position, for further 2 hours ± 10 minutes, incubated in a liquid bath at 32 ± 1°C.
OBSERVATIONS
Visual observation through chamber glasses and pertinent observation recorded (e.g. tissue peeling/exfoliation, residual test substance, non-uniform opacity pattern etc.);
Opacity determination of all corneas: basal opacity of corneas was determined by means of a calibrated meter, measuring difference in light transmission between the corneas placed into the beam paths versus air (Opacitometer);
Permeability by treatment with fluorescein: 1 mL aliquot of 4 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution in DPBS. The corneas were horizontally incubated for approximately 90 minutes in a liquid batch at 32 ± 1 °C. The quality controls of the fluorescein solutions were assayed.
Permeability determination: measurement of the optical density of each sample using a spectrophotometer set at 490 nm.
Tissue retention.
At the end of the procedure, corneas were retained and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin.

- PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
A total of 9 corneas were processed (out of 14 delivered) for a final selection of the 9 required corneas according to basal opacity.
One cornea out of the nine was selected although it showed a very small lesion (no. 1 pre-test).
cornea no. 1 pre-test was assigned to the negative control (code no. n1).
OBSERVATIONS
Negative control samples: did not induce corrosion as the mean opacity values were homogeneous and in line with the expected values for this kind of control.
however, a single cornea (code n1 – pre-test 1) showed a high od value in the permeability assay. This was attributed to the small lesion recorded before the test and the value was then excluded from mean permeability and opacity value.
The positive control induced opacity of the whole cornea surface with a mean increase of the opacity value equal to 187.3. Opacity and exfoliation value were noted in three replicates at the end of the 2-hour post-incubation period.
The corneal permeability was also increased. The calculated mean permeability OD490 value was 3.3493.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Classification of the test item was performed according to the in vitro irritancy score:
> 55.1 Corrosive or severely irritant;
In addition, the test item was evaluated also for the eye irritancy potential according to the criteria stated in the OECD Supplement to Test Guidelines nos. 437 and 438:
0-3 Non eye irritant
3.1-25 Mild eye irritant
25.1-55 Moderate eye irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Criteria of the OECD Guideline no. 437: not corrosive or severely irritant to the eye. Criteria of OECD Supplement to Test Guidelines nos. 437 and 438: mild irritant effect to the eye.
- Conclusions:
- Slight alterations of cornea opacity but not of permeability were recorded after treatment with the test item, so according to the OECD Guideline no. 437, the test item is not to be classified as corrosive or severely irritant to the eye. However, according to the criteria stated in the OECD Supplement to Test Guidelines nos. 437 and 438, there is an indication of a mild irritant effect to the eye.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test item, Sulfosuccinate of lanolin Alcohol solid, to cause corrosion/severe irritation by using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay, was examined in agreement with OECD Guideline no. 437 (adopted on September 2009) and OECD Supplement to Test Guidelines nos. 437 and 438.
The test item was used as supplied (being a cream) on the epithelial surface of three idoneous bovine corneas, for an exposure period of 10 minutes plus a post incubation period of 4 hours.
Positive and negative controls [a 1% (w/v) sodium hydroxide solution in water and physiological saline alone, respectively] were concurrently tested in the same number of replicates.
The mean opacity detected with an opacitometer at the end of the test item exposure period was 3.3, slightly higher than that of the negative control. At the macroscopic observation the three corneas did not show any abnormality.
After the determination of opacity, the epithelial surface was treated with a 0.4% solution of sodium fluorescein in DPBS for 90 minutes, to investigate alteration in cornea permeability.
Mean OD490 value of the corneas treated with the test item was essentially unaffected when compared to that of negative control, thus indicating no alteration of corneal barrier.
Negative and positive controls gave the expected results.
The results obtained indicate that the test item induces slight changes in cornea opacity under the reported experimental conditions.
The calculated in vitro irritancy score (IVIS) for the test item is 3.3.
According to the OECD Guideline no. 437, the test item is not to be classified as corrosive or severely irritant to the eye.
However, according to the criteria stated in the OECD Supplement to Test Guidelines nos. 437 and 438, there is an indication of a mild irritant effect to the eye.
