- APPLICATION
- Preparation: a volume of 0.1 ml of unchanged test material (found to weigh ca. 42 mg) was ground into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle, and measured by gently compacting the required volume into an adapted syringe
- Application: placed into the right eye of each rabbit by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test item was dropped; the upper and lower lids were then held together for ca. 1 second to prevent loss of test item
- Observations: 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Removal: no removal or washing was performed
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: light source of a standard ophthalmoscope (Keeler)
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: Draize, J. H. (1959) "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics", as follows:
Corneal opacity: degree of intensity (area most dense taken for reading)
0 – No ulceration opacity
1 – Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible
2 – Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 – Opalescent area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 – Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity
Iris
0 – Normal
1 – Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia, or injection, any of these or a combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 – No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)
Conjunctival redness: refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva excluding cornea and iris
0 - Blood vessels normal
1 - Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) above normal
2 – Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 – Diffuse beefy red*
Chemosis: lids and/or nictitating membranes
0 – No swelling
1 – Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane)
2 – Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 – Swelling with lids about half closed
4 – Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- The test item induced slight conjunctival redness and chemosis until 24 hours after application.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation/eye damage potential of the test item was evaluated in an experimental study according to a method based on the OECD guideline 405 (1981). 0.1 ml of finely ground test item (weighing ca. 42 mg) was placed into the right conjunctival sac of three New Zealand White rabbits using an adapted syringe (no rinsing/removal performed). The eye was then monitored for corneal opacity, iridic inflammation, conjunctival redness and chemosis (using the Draize irritation scale) at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application using a standard ophthalmoscope. The left eye may be considered an untreated control.
As no signs of irritation or damage were evident at 72 hours after application, the study was terminated. No corneal opacity was noted in the study period, and iridial inflammation was observed only in one animal and only at 1 hour after application. Grade 2 conjunctival redness was observed in all three animals at one hour after application, which persisted at 24 h (grade 1) and was reversible within 48 hours after application. Grade 1 -2 chemosis was observed in all three animals at one hour after application, which persisted at 24 h in just one animal (grade 1), and was reversible within 48 hours after application. The mean (24, 48 and 72 h) irritation scores for (i) corneal opacity, (ii) iridial inflammation, (iii) conjunctival redness and (iv) chemosis were subsequently calculated to be (i) 0 in all animals, (ii) 0 in all animals, (iii) 0.33 in all animals, and (iv) 0.33 in one animal and 0 in two animals.
