IN-LIFE DATES: From: 05 Mar 1997 to 08 Mar 1997

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated contralateral eye
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL

The day before treatment, the eyes of each animal were examined in order to use only animals without any signs of ocular irritation. Animals showing signs of ocular irritation, ocular defects or pre-existing corneal injury were not used.

A single dose of 0.1 ml of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctiva! sac of the left eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lower and upper eyelids were held together for about one second to avoid any loss of test substance. The right eye, which remained untreated, served as a control. The eyes were not rinsed after administration of the test substance.

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration of the test substance.
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): None
- Time after start of exposure: None

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

As no irritant effects were anticipated, the test substance was evaluated in three animals.
