- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
Within 2 hours after kill, eyes were carefully dissected and placed in a superfusion apparatus using the following procedure: First the eye lids were carefully removed without damaging the cornea and a small drop of Fluorescein sodium 2.0% w/v (Minims, Chauvin, England) was applied to the corneal surface for a few seconds and subsequently rinsed off with isotonic saline at ambient temperature. Next, the head with the fluorescein treated cornea was examined with a slit lamp microscope (Slit lamp 900 BP, Haag Streit AG, Liebefeld Bern, Switzerland) to ensure that the cornea was not damaged. If undamaged (e.g., fluorescein retention and corneal opacity scores of ≤ 0.5), the eye was further dissected from the head without damaging the eye or cornea. Care was taken to remove the eye ball from the orbit without cutting off the optical nerve too short.
The enucleated eye was placed in a stainless steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically and transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamp holding the eye was positioned in such a way that the entire cornea was supplied with isotonic saline from a bent, stainless steel tube, at a target rate of 0.10 0.15 mL/min (peristaltic pump set at speed 5.00, Watson-Marlow 205CA). The chambers of the superfusion apparatus as well as the saline were temperature controlled at approximately 32°C (water pump set at 36.4°C). After placing in the superfu¬sion apparatus, the eyes were examined again with the slit lamp microscope to ensure that they were not damaged. Corneal thickness was measured using the Depth Measuring Attachment No. I for the Haag Streit slit lamp microscope, set at 0.095 mm. Corneal thickness was expressed in instrument units. An accurate measurement was taken at the corneal apex of each eye. Eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% of the average corneal thickness of the eyes, eyes showing opacity (score higher than 0.5), or were unaccep¬tably stained with fluorescein (score higher than 0.5) indicating the cornea to be permeable, or eyes that showed any other signs of damage, were rejected as test eyes and replaced.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
Each eye provided its own baseline values for corneal swelling, corneal opacity and fluorescein retention. For that purpose, after an equilibration period of 45-60 minutes, the corneal thickness of the eyes was measured again to determine the zero reference value for corneal swelling calculations.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
1 for Negative Control ; 3 for Positive Control ; 3 for Test group
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
Physiological Saline NaCl 0.9% w/v
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
Sodium Hydroxide NaOH
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
30 μL of negative control or 30 mg of postive control and test item were applied for 10 seconds.
OBSERVATION PERIOD
0, 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: The eye was rinsed 10 seconds after t
reatment with test item or control. They were rinsed with 20 mL saline solution.
- Indicate any deviation from test procedure in the Guideline : no deviation
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: slit lamp microscope
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: Slit lamp microscope
- Swelling: measured with optical pachymeter on a slit-lamp microscope
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: No
- Others (e.g, histopathology): Histopathological examination
SCORING SYSTEM:
Corneal swelling, expressed as a percentage, is calculated according to the following formula:
“Corneal thickness at time t minus corneal thickness at time t = 0, divided by corneal thickness at time t = 0 and multiplied by 100”.
The mean percentage of swelling for the three test eyes will be calcula¬ted for each of the observation time points of 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes. The maximum mean percentage (can be at any of the time points) will be used for classification into one of four categories
- Mean maximum opacity score
Opacity degree of density (area most dense taken for scoring)
0 = no opacity
0.5 = very faint opacity (= very slight)
1 = scattered or diffuse areas, details of iris clearly visible (= slight)
2 = easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured (= moderate)
3 = severe corneal opacity, no specific details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible (= severe)
4 = complete corneal opacity, iris invisible (= very severe)
The mean corneal opacity value for all test eyes is calculated for the observation time points of 30, 75 , 120, 180, and 240 minutes. The maximum mean opacity score (can be at any of the time points) will be used for classification into one of four categories
- Mean fluorescein retention score at 30 minutes post-treatment
0 = no fluorescein retention
0.5 = very minor single cell staining (= very slight)
1 = single cell staining scattered throughout the treated area of the cornea (= slight)
2 = focal or confluent dense single cell staining (= moderate)
3 = confluent large areas of the cornea retaining fluorescein (= severe)
DECISION CRITERIA: On the basis of the severity of the observed findings for corneal swelling, corneal opacity and fluorescein retention, the effects are divided into four categories, viz. I = no effect; II = slight effect; III = moderate effect; IV = severe effect.
Interpretation of corneal swelling, corneal opacity, and fluorescein retention and categorisation into the four categories is done according the following methodology:
Corneal swelling:
Mean corneal swelling (%) Category
0 5 I
>5 12 II
>12 - 18 (>75 min. after treatment) II
(≤75 min. after treatment) III
>18 26 III
>26 - 32 (>75 min. after treatment) III
(≤75 min. after treatment) IV
>32 IV
Corneal opacity:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental condition of the study, the Test Article did not showed eye irritation effect.HC Red No. 3 (B050; GTS119151) caused corneal effects consisting of very slight corneal swelling (mean swelling 4%), no or very slight corneal opacity (mean score 0.2) and no or very slight fluorescein retention (mean score 0.2). Microscopic examination of the corneas did not reveal any abnormalities. Based on this report and according to the CLP regulation, the test article HC Red No.3 was Not Classified for Eye Irritation.
- Executive summary:
This GLP compliant study was performed in order to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the test article HC Red No.3 in an Isolated Chicken Eye test, performed with OECD 438 guideline method.
HC Red No. 3 (B050; GTS119151) was evaluated neat for eye irritation potential in the Isolated Chicken Eye (ICE) test. In addition, the test included a negative control (saline) and a positive control (NaOH). Chicken eyes were obtained from slaughter animals used for human consumption. The isolated chicken eyes were exposed to a single application of 30 mg for 10 seconds followed by a 20 mL saline rinse. Three main parameters were measured to disclose possible adverse eye effects: corneal thickness (expressed as corneal swelling), corneal opacity and fluorescein retention of damaged epithelial cells. In addition, histopathology of the corneas was performed.
After the exposure procedure, a faint, red/purple staining of the sclera was observed. The intensity of the staining decreased over time and had cleared at 120 min after administration. At sampling of the corneas for histopathological examination, a red staining of the vitreous body was observed.
HC Red No. 3 (B050; GTS119151) caused corneal effects consisting of very slight corneal swelling (mean swelling 4%), no or very slight corneal opacity (mean score 0.2) and no or very slight fluorescein retention (mean score 0.2). Microscopic examination of the corneas did not reveal any abnormalities, other than very slight erosion of the epithelium in one cornea.
Under the experimental condition of the study, the Test Article did not showed eye irritation effect. Based on this report and according to the CLP regulation, the test article HC Red No.3 was Not Classified for Eye Irritation.
