- Controls: untreated eye
- Housing: individually in stainless steel cages
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 10 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 °C +/- 2°C
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 15 %
- Air changes (per hr): 15 to 20 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):12 hours light/12 hours night

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye
Amount / concentration applied:
undiluted
Amount applied: 100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hour(s)
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, 72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
Comment: not rinsed
ADMINISTRATION/EXPOSURE 
- Preparation of test substance: grinding to a fine powder
- Postexposure period: 72 hours
EXAMINATIONS
- Ophtalmoscopic examination: 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment
- Scoring system:
Based on OECD TG 405. Possible scores:   
Conjunctivae, reddening: 0-3   
Conjunctivae, chemosis: 0-4   
Conjunctivae, discharge: 0-3  
Iris: 0-2   
Cornea, opacity: 0-4   
Cornea, area involved: 1-4
- Classification: 67/548/EEC and its revisions
- Tool used to assess score: not reported ("standard conditions") - a single animal was dosed and the response evaluated. As the response to treatment was considered to be within the acceptable limits further 2 animals were dosed, bringing the group size to 3.
