Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
0.1 g of undiluted test article was applied to the left eye of each animal.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The eye was not rinsed after application.
Observation period (in vivo):
Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after application.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 animals ( 1 male, 2 females)
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM according to OECD 405 (1981):

CORNEA
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
No ulceration or opacity 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal luster), details of iris clearly visible 1
Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured 2
Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity 4

IRIS
Normal 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperemia, or injection, any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive) 1
No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these) 2

CONJUNCTIVAE
Redness (refers to most severe reading of palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae when compared with control eye)
Blood vessels normal 0
Some blood vessels definitely hyperemic (injected) 1
Diffuse, crimson color, individual vessels not easily discernible 2
Diffuse beefy red 3

CHEMOSIS: lids and/or nictitating membranes
No swelling 0
Any swelling above normal (including nictitating membranes) 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids 2
Swelling with lids about half-closed 3
Swelling with lids more than half-closed 4
