Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
continuous
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 (one male, two females)
Details on study design:
TREATMENT: On the day of treatment, 0.1 g of test item was placed in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of test item. The right eye remained untreated and served as the reference control. The treated eyes were not rinsed after instillation.

SCORING SYSTEMand TIME POINTS: scored according to OECD Guideline 405 at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: diagnostic-lamp

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the measurement intervals.
Slight to moderate reddening of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals one hour after test Item instillation and slight reddening persisted in one animal until the 24-hour reading.
Slight reddening ofthe sclerae was present in all animals at the 1-hour observation.
Slight ocular discharge was present in one animal at the 1-hour reading.
No abnormal findings were observed in the treated eye of any animal 48 hours after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals.
Other effects:
None observed
