Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: approximately twelve to sixteen weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.93 - 3.08 kg
- Housing: the animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages.
- Diet (ad libitum): Rabbit Diet, A.W. Tindall Limited, Holbeach, Lincolnshire, U.K.
- Water (ad libitum): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: minimum of five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 - 20°C
- Relative humidity: 45 - 55%
- Air exchanges: approximately 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): on the day of the test each rabbit was held firmly but gently until quiet. A volume of 0.1 mL of the test material was instilled 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 material was dropped. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after application to prevent loss of the test material from the eye. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
not applicable
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as day 7 following treatment
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 rabbits
Details on study design:
Within 24 hours of commencement of the test both eyes of each rabbit provisionally selected, were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect using an ophthalmoscope. Animals showing evidence of ocular lesions were rejected and replaced.

SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: examination of the eye was facilitated by use of a standard ophthalmoscope (Keeler).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
A dulling of the normal lustre of the corneal surface was noted in all treated eyes but only at the one hour observation. The cornea of all treated eyes appeared normal at subsequent observations.
Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes but only at the one hour observation. No iridial irritation was noted at subsequent observations.
Conjunctivitis was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and was still apparent in two of the three treated eyes at the 72-hour observation. The remaining treated eye appeared normal at this time and all treated eyes were normal on day 7.
