Observations on the behaviours of the rabbit were made at 5, 15 and 30 minutes and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material. The animal was observed twice daily for mortality and moribundity during the study

SCORING SYSTEM: the Draize system
Observations for irritation and ocular lesions were performed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material elicited ocular effects in the one rabbit following test material administration. Corneal opacity was observed in the one rabbit from the 1-hour interval through the 72-hour interval of the study. An epithelial lesion was observed in the rabbit from the 1-hour interval through the 72-hour interval of the study. The results of the eye examinations using fluorescein indicated significant corneal epithelial effects involving up to approximately 100% of the corneal surface in the rabbit at 24, 48 and 72 hours.

Iridal effects (congestion and swelling, grade 1) were observed in the rabbit from the 1-hour interval through the 72-hour interval of the study. Conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge were observed in the one rabbit by the 1-hour interval. Draize grades of 2 to 3 were observed in the rabbit at the 1-hour interval, a Draize grade of 3 at the 24-hour interval, and Draize grades of 2 to 3 at the 48 and 72-hour intervals. Conjunctival blanching was noted in the rabbit from the 1-hour interval through the 72-hour interval. Conjunctival petechial hemorrhage was observed in the rabbit from the 24-hour interval through the 72-hour interval. Purulent discharge was noted in the rabbit from 48 hours through 72 hours of the study.
Other effects:
The one rabbit survived the study period. No abnormal clinical signs were observed in the rabbit during the study.
