Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
24 h
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: day 4
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Day 1 readings showed scores of 1, 2, and 3 for redness and chemosis. Discharge was also noted in all three animals. These signs generally remained at day 2, subsided by day 3 and cleared by day 4. Cornea and iris were not involved and remained normal.
Other effects:
No data available

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Day 1 readings showed scores of 1, 2, and 3 for redness and chemosis respectively. Discharge was also noted in all three animals. These signs generally remained at day 2, subsided by day 3 and cleared by day 4. Cornea and iris were not involved and remained normal.
Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

Draize test or modified Draize test in rabbits was performed to evaluate the toxic nature of the test chemical. The test compound was instilled into the rabbit eye at a concentration of 0.5%. Day 1 readings showed scores of 1, 2, and 3 for redness and chemosis respectively. Discharge was also noted in all three animals. These signs generally remained at day 2, subsided by day 3 and cleared by day 4. Cornea and iris were not involved and remained normal.

Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
