Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
62 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The eyes are not washed following instillation of test material
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 animals
Details on study design:
62 mg of Procion Turquoise H-A was instilled into each eye.

Six albino rabbits are used for each test substance. Animal facilities for such procedures shall be so designed and maintained as to exclude sawdust, wood chips, or other extraneous materials that might produce eye irritation. Both eyes of each animal in the test group shall be examined before testing, and only those animals without eye defects or irritation shall be used. The animal is held firmly but gently until quiet. The test material is placed in one eye of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test substance is dropped. The lids are then gently held together for one second and the animal is released. The other eye, remaining untreated, serves as a control. The eyes are not washed following instillation of test material.

The eyes ore examined and the grade of ocular reaction is recorded at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Reading of reaction is facilitated by use of a binocular loupe, hand slit-lamp, or other expert means.
After the recording of observations at 24 hours, any or all eyes may be further examined after applying fluorescein. For this optional test, one drop of fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution U.S.P. or equivalent is dropped directly on the cornea. After flushing out the excess fluorescein with sodium chloride solution U.S.P. or equivalent, injured areas of the cornea appear yellow; this is best visualized in a darkened room underultra-violet illumination. Any or all eyes may be washed with sodium chloride solution U.S.P. or equivalent after the 24 hour reading.
