- TEST MATERIAL SOURCE AND TREATMENT
Eyes from adult cattle were obtained from a local abattoir as a by-product from freshly slaughtered animals. The eyes were excised by an abattoir employee and placed in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), supplemented with Penicillin/Streptomycin, and transported to the laboratory on ice packs. The corneas were prepared immediately on arrival.
PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
The cornea from each selected eye was removed leaving a 2-3 mm rim of sclera to facilitate handling. The iris and lens were peeledaway from the cornea. The isolated corneas were immersed in HBSS until they were mounted in Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) holders. The anterior and posterior chambers of each BCOP holder were filled with complete minimum essential medium (MEM) and plugged. The holders were incubated at 32 ±1ºC for 60 minutes. At the end of the incubation period each cornea was examined for defects and only corneas free of damage were used.

- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: At the end of the exposure period the test item and control items were removed from the anterior chamber and the cornea was rinsed three times with fresh complete MEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete MEM. The anterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete MEM. A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed.
- Time after start of exposure: 120 ± 10 min
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD492 value)
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein
POSITIVE CONTROL SUBSTANCE: ethanol
NEGATIVE CONTROL SUBSTANCE: 0.9% (w/v) sodium chloride solution
PERMEABILITY DETERMINATION: 360 µL of medium representing each cornea was applied to a designated well on a 96-well plate and the optical density at 492 nm (OD492) was measured. The corrected OD492 was calculated by subtracting the mean OD492 of the negative control corneas from the OD492 value of each treated cornea. The OD 492 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the corrected OD492 values of the treated corneas for the treatment group.
OPACITY MEASUREMENT: The change in opacity for each cornea was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading (corrected for the average change in opacity observed for the negative control corneas). The mean opacity value of each treatment group was then calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for that treatment group.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: The corneas were retained after testing for possible conduct of histopathology (in 10% neutral buffered formalin).
VISUAL OBSERVATION: The condition of the cornea was visually assessed immediately after rinsing and at the final opacity measurement.

Potential eye irritation/corrosion has been investigated in an in-vitro BCOP assay using OECD test methods. In accordance with the decision criteria for classification and labelling, as given in OECD guideline 437 (adopted 26 July 2013), the results indicate that the substance does not need to be classified.
