- Source: slaughterhouse
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 kg +/- 0.3 kg

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
10 s
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
4 eyes and 1 eye as negative control
Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
Eyes from healthy New Zealand White rabbits (slaughterhouse)
The eyes were enucleated immediately and carefully, and the corneal opacity and fluorescein penetration were examined that they were not damaged. The eyes were placed in Isoloted Eye Superfusion System.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES
4 eyes and 1 eye as negative control

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED

POSITIVE CONTROL USED

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
0.1 ml (Liquid test substance) for 10 s
OBSERVATION PERIOD
0.5, 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: washed with 20 ml war isotonic saline

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: YZ5E slit biomicroscope
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: slit-lamp biomicroscope
- Swelling: measured with optical pachymeter on a slit-lamp microscope; slit-width setting: UP-1000 ultrasonic pachymether
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface:
- Others (e.g, histopathology): corneas: loss of the epithelial cells, pitting, mottling or sloughing of the cornea
