- Test Procedure
The test was carried out using 6 rabbits that had been examined before and had an average weight of 2.1 kg. Treatment consisted of a single application of a
bulk volume of 100 µL of the amorphous test substance into the conjunctival sac of the lower right eyelid. Subsequently, the Iids were gently held together for 1 sec. The eye was not rinsed after application. The secend left eye of the animals remained always untreated as a control.
The eyes were examined using an ophthalmoscope.
The finding on the cornea was verified by means of the fluorescein test (instillation of 1 drop in an ophthalmological preparation directly onto the cornea. After rinsing with physiological saline, corneal damage appears yellowish green. UV light or cobalt blue filter).
Observations were made 24, 48 and 72 h and 8 days after the start of the experiment. The observations after 8 days were not included in the evaluation of the irritation index.
SCORING:
The pathological findings on the cornea (according to the degree and area of opacity), iris and conjunctivae (according to redness, swelling and discharge) were assessed. ln detail, the assessment was carried out on the basis of the scale that was used for determining the irritation index..
Scoring system used from: The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, FDA, 1959, p .5 1
1) Cornea
(A) Opacity- degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
- No opacity; 0
- Scattered or diffuse area, details of iris clearly visible; 1
- Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured; 2
- Opalescent areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible; 3
- Opaque, iris invisible; 4
(B) Area of cornea involved
- One quarter (or less) but not zero; 1
- Greater than one quarter but less than half; 2
- Greater than half but less than three quarters; 3
- Greater than three quarters, up to whole area; 4
2)Iris - iris
(A) Values
- Normal; 0
- Felds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcorneal injection (any or all of these or combination of any thereof), iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive); 1
- No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these); 2
3) Conjunctivae
(A) Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
- normal vessels; 0
- Vessels injected clearly; 1
- More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible; 2
- Diffuse beefy red; 3
(B) Chemosis
- No swelling; 0
- Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane); 1
- Obvious swelling with partial eversion of Iids; 2
- Swelling with Iids about half closed; 3
- Swelling with Iids about half closed to completely closed; 4
(C) Discharge
- No discharge; 0
- Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner canthus of normal animals); 1
- Discharge with moistening of the Iids and hairs just adjacent to Iids; 2
- Discharge with moistening of the Iids and hairs, and considerable area areund the eye; 3
