- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
With the eyes still in the chicken heads, eyelids were carefully cut away with scissors from the chicken eyes. One small drop of fluorescein solution 2 % (w/v) was applied onto the cornea surface for a few seconds and then rinsed off with 20 mL isotonic saline. The fluorescein-treated cornea was examined with a hand-held slit lamp or a slit lamp microscope. If the cornea was in good condition, the eyeball was carefully removed from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane with a surgical forceps, while cutting the eye muscles with bent scissors without cutting off the optical nerve too short. The procedure avoided pressure on the eye, which may lead to corneal opacity. Once removed from the orbit, the eye was placed onto damp paper and the nictitating membrane was cut away with other connective tissue. The prepared eyes were kept on the wet papers in a closed box to maintain the appropriate humidity.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
At the end of the acclimatization period, a zero reference measurement was recorded for cornea thickness and opacity to serve as a baseline (t=0) for each individual eye. The cornea thickness of the eyes should not change by more than ±5-7 % within approximately 45 to 60 minutes before the start of application. Changes in thickness were not observed in the eyes. Following the equilibration period, the fluorescein retention was measured. Baseline values were required to evaluate any potential test item related effects after treatment. The location of any minor findings was marked on the record sheet as a drawing, if applicable. If any eye was considered to be unsuitable following baseline assessment, it was discarded.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: After 10 seconds the cornea surface was rinsed thoroughly with approx. 20 mL saline solution at ambient temperature. Imidazole was stuck on the corneas’ surface in all eyes at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. The gentle rinsing with 20 mL saline was performed in all Imidazole treated eyes after the 30, 75, 120 and 180 minutes of observation, but cornea surfaces were not totally cleared at 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
OBSERVATION PERIOD
30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after post-treatment rinse (minor variations +/- 5 minutes were considered acceptable)
Cornea thickness and opacity were measured at all time points. Flurescein retention was determined at baseline (t=0) and at 30 min.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: yes, using a slit lamp microscope
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: yes, using a slit lamp microscope
- Swelling: depth measuring device on the slit lamp microscope (Haag-Streit BQ 900) with the slit-width set at 9½, equalling 0.095 mm
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: yes, using a slit lamp microscope
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Mean corneal swelling (%): according to TG
- Mean maximum opacity score: according to TG
- Mean fluorescein retention score at 30 minutes post-treatment: according to TG
DECISION CRITERIA: decision criteria as indicated in the TG were used.

- Executive summary:
The purpose of this Isolated Chicken Eye Test (ICET) according to OECD 438 was to evaluate the potential ocular corrosivity and irritancy of the test item by its ability to induce toxicity in enucleated chicken eyes. The test compound was applied in a single dose (30 mg/eye) onto the cornea of isolated chicken. Tested corneas were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. The endpoints evaluated were corneal opacity, swelling, fluorescein retention, and morphological effects. All of the endpoints, with the exception of fluorescein retention (which was determined only at pre-treatment and 30 minutes after test substance exposure) were determined at each of the above time points. Imidazole (positive control) was ground before use in the study. The test item and positive control were applied in an amount of 0.03 g/eye by powdering the entire surface of the cornea attempting to cover the cornea surface uniformly with the test substance or positive control. Three test item treated eyes and three positive control eyes were used in this study. One negative control eye was treated with 30 μL saline solution. After an exposure period of 10 seconds from the end of the application the cornea surface was rinsed thoroughly with approximately 20 mL saline solution at ambient temperature and this procedure was repeated for each eye. In this ICET, the test item did not cause ocular corrosion or severe irritation in the enucleated chicken eyes. The overall ICE class was 2xI, 1xII. Positive and negative controls showed the expected results. The experiment was considered to be valid.
