- TREATED EYES
In order to minimise pain on instillation of the test material, one drop of local anaesthetic "Ophthaine", 0.5 % proxymetacaine hydrochloride was instilled into both eyes of these animals 1-2 minutes before treatment.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: examination of the eye was facilitated by use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.
SCORING SYSTEM
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation described in Draize J.H. 1959, Association of Food and Drug Officials of the united States, Austin, Texas, "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics"). Any other adverse ocular effects were also noted.
Additional observations were made on days seven and fourteen to assess the reversibility of the ocular effects.

Faint yellow-coloured staining caused by the test material was noted in all treated eyes during the study. This did not prevent accurate evaluation of ocular reactions.
A dulling of the normal lustre of the corneal surface was noted in two treated eyes one hour after treatment. Areas of diffuse corneal opacity were noted in one treated eye one hour after treatment and in all treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Diffuse corneal opacity persisted in all treated eyes up to the 72-hour observation and in one treated eye at the 7-day observation.
Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment, at the 24 and 48-hour observations and in one treated eye at the 72-hour observation.
Moderate to severe conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment with moderate conjunctival irritation at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes at the 72-hour observation with minimal conjunctival irritation in one treated eye at the 7-day observation.
Residual test material was noted around the treated eyes of all animals during the study.
All treated eyes appeared normal 7 - 14 days after treatment.
The test material produced a maximum group mean score of 36.0 and was classified as a moderate irritant to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Eye Irrit. 2 (H319), according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- Eye irritant.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material following a single application to the rabbit eye. The method used followed the recommendations of OECD guideline 405.
One rabbit was initially treated. A volume of 0.1 ml of test material, which was found to weigh approximately 96 mg (as measured by gently compacting the required volume into an adapted syringe) was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of test substance, an assessment of the initial local pain reaction was made. After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.
Vocalisation was noted in one animal approximately ten seconds after dosing. Faint yellow-coloured staining caused by the test material was noted in all treated eyes during the study. This did not prevent accurate evaluation of ocular reactions. A dulling of the normal lustre of the corneal surface was noted in two treated eyes one hour after treatment. Areas of diffuse corneal opacity were noted in one treated eye one hour after treatment and in all treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Diffuse corneal opacity persisted in all treated eyes up to the 72-hour observation and in one treated eye at the 7-day observation. Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment, at the 24 and 48-hour observations and in one treated eye at the 72-hour observation. Moderate to severe conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment with moderate conjunctival irritation at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes at the 72-hour observation with minimal conjunctival irritation in one treated eye at the 7-day observation. All treated eyes appeared normal 7 - 14 days after treatment.
Conclusion
The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were equal to 1 for corneal opacity in all the animals tested, lower than 1 for iritis in 2 out of 3 animals, equal/higher than 2 for conjunctival redness in 2 out of 3 animals and lower than 2 for conjunctival oedema in 2 out of 3 animals. All treated eyes appeared normal 7 - 14 days after treatment.
