Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this study, cyclooctene was not an eye irritant..
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of undiluted cyclooctene was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male and three female young adult White Russian rabbits. Eyes were not rinsed. Animals were observed for 3 days. 

Cornea and iris were not affected. Very mild and reversible conjunctival effects were observed. In this study, cyclooctene was not an eye irritant..
