Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
up to 72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Details on study design:
The test item was applied to the left eye of each rabbit. The contra-lateral eye surved as intra-individual control. Evaluation 1, 7, 24, 48, and 72 hours after test item application by means of a magnifying lens. After 24 hours the eyes were rinsed with physiological saline solution. At 48 and 72 hours evaluation, fluorescein staining was used to verify the absence of corneal lesions.
