Conjunctivae - Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) in animal no. 1 and 2 whereas animal no.3 showed no ocular lesion; Chemosis: No swelling (Normal) were observed in all the animals.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all 3 animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the treated animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes) was observed in animal number 1 and no swelling was observed in animal number 2 and 3.
At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 40 % and 15 % damage in animal no 1 and 2 whereas no damage was seen in animal no. 3.
Observation at 48 and 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - blood vessels were normal in all the animals; Chemosis: No swelling was observed in all the animals.
The individual mean score for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours for Corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva, chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 1.00; 0.33; 0.00, 0.00; 1.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00, respectively.
Other effects:
Clinical Observation
No systemic toxicity was observed at treated rabbits during the experimental period.
Mortality
No mortality was observed during the observation period.
Body weight
All rabbits were weighed on test day 0 (prior to application) and at termination. The body weights were marginally increased in animal number 1, 2 and 3 when compared with pre-treatment body weights.

Executive summary:

Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Study of Test chemical in Rabbits, was performed in an OECD GLP laboratory (Sustainability Support Services (Europe) has letter of access).The study was performed according to OECD 405 Guidelines. Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas;0.1 ml of test item (as such) was instilled in the other (treated) eye of rabbits. The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after test item instillation. Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions. In the initial test,0.1 ml of test item was applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of Animal No.1. The left eye of the rabbit served as the control. Animal No. 1 presented ocular lesions at 1 hour observation period. Hence the confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (Animal No. 2 and 3);0.1 ml of test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye and left eye served as the control. Ocular lesions were observed at 1, 24 and 48 hour in Animal Number 2 whereas in Animal Number 3 ocular lesions presented only at 1 hour observation period. Untreated eye of the treated rabbits was normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours. The following grading scores were observed in treated eye of tested rabbits. Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all 3 animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) in animal no. 1 and 2 whereas animal no.3 showed no ocular lesion;Chemosis:No swelling (Normal) were observed in all the animals. Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all 3 animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals.Conjunctivae -Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the treated animals;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes) was observed in animal number 1 and no swelling was observed in animal number 2 and 3. At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 40 % and 15 % damage in animal no 1 and 2 whereas no damage was seen in animal no. 3. Observation at 48 and 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae- blood vessels were normal in all animals; Chemosis: No swelling was observed in all the animals. Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed at 72 hours. The individual mean score for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours for Corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva, chemosis were found  0.00, 0.00, 1.00; 0.33; 0.00, 0.00; 1.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00,  respectively. Hence, under the experimental conditions, Test chemical is “Non Irritant” to New Zealand White male rabbit eyes.
