- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- One eye was treated with the negative control (physiological saline), three eyes with the test material and another three with the positive control (powdered Imidazole) in each experiment. There were 2 experiments in total.
- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
- After removing the head from the plastic box, it was put on soft paper. The eyelids were carefully cut away with scissors, avoiding damaging the cornea.
- One small drop of 2 % (w/v) fluorescein solution was applied onto the cornea surface for a few seconds and subsequently rinsed off with 20 mL physiological saline.
- Then the fluorescein-treated cornea was examined with a hand-held slit lamp or slit lamp microscope, with the eye in the head, to ensure that the cornea was not damaged. If the cornea was in good condition, the eyeball was carefully removed from the orbit.
- The eye ball was carefully removed from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane with a surgical forceps, while cutting the eye muscles with bent scissors.
- Care was taken to remove the eyeball from the orbit without cutting off the optical nerve too short.
- The procedure avoided pressure on the eye while removing the eyeball from the orbit, in order to prevent distortion of the cornea and subsequent 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 so that the appropriate humidity was maintained.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
- The prepared eye was placed in a steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically with the eye in the correct relative position (same position as in the chicken head). Again avoiding too much pressure on the eye by the clamp.
- Because of the relatively firm sclera of the chicken eyeball, only slight pressure was needed to fix the eye properly.
- The clamp with the eyeball was transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamp holding the eye was positioned in such a way that the entire cornea was supplied with physiological saline solution dripping from a stainless steel tube, at a rate of approximately 3-4 drops/minute or 0.1 to 0.15 mL/minutes.
- The door of the chamber was closed except for manipulations and examinations, to maintain temperature and humidity.
- The appropriate number of eyes was selected and after being placed in the superfusion apparatus. There they were examined again with the slit lamp microscope to ensure that they were in good condition.
- The focus was adjusted to see clearly the physiological saline which was flowing on the cornea surface. Eyes with a high baseline fluorescein staining (i.e., > 0.5) or corneal opacity score (i.e., > 0.5) were rejected.
- The cornea thickness was measured, any eye with cornea thickness deviating more than 10 % from the mean value for all eyes, or eyes that showed any other signs of damage, were rejected and replaced.
- If the selected eyes were appropriate for the test, acclimatisation started and it was conducted for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The chambers of the superfusion apparatus were at controlled temperature (32 ± 1.5 °C) during the acclimatization and treatment periods.
- Baseline assessments: At the end of the acclimatisation 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 % within the -45 min and the zero time. No changes in thickness (0.0 %) were observed in the eyes in each experiment. Following the equilibration period, the fluorescein retention was measured. Baseline values were required to evaluate any potential test item related effect after treatment. All eyes were considered to be suitable for the assay.
TREATMENT
After the zero reference measurements, the eye in its retainer was taken out of the chamber and placed on a layer of tissue with the cornea facing upwards. The eye was held in horizontal position, while the test material was applied onto the centre of the cornea. In each experiment, 30 mg of the powdered test material was applied onto the entire surface of the cornea attempting to cover the cornea surface uniformly with the test item, taking care not to damage or touch the cornea.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
- Three test material treated eyes, three positive control treated eyes and one negative control eye were examined during the study.
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
- 30 µL of physiological saline
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
- 30 mg of powdered Imidazole
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
- 30 mg of test material for 10 seconds
OBSERVATION PERIOD
- The control eyes and test eyes were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. Minor variations within approximately ± 5 minutes were considered acceptable.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- The time of application was noted, then after an exposure period of 10 seconds from the end of the application the cornea surface was rinsed thoroughly with 20 mL physiological saline solution at ambient temperature, taking care not to damage the cornea but attempting to remove all residual test material if possible.
- Additional gentle rinsing with 20 mL saline was performed at each time point of both experiments when the test material or positive control material remaining on the cornea was observed.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal thickness and corneal opacity were measured at all time points.
- Fluorescein retention was measured on two occasions, at baseline (t=0) and approximately 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
- Haag-Streit Bern 900 slit-lamp microscope was used for the measurements.
CORNEAL SWELLING CALCULATION
CS at time t = [(CT at time t – CT at time=0)/ CT at t=0] x 100
Mean CS at time t = (FECS(at time t) + SECS(at time t) + TECS(at time t)) / 3
Where:
CS = cornea swelling
CT = cornea thickness
FECS(at time t) = first eye cornea swelling at a given time-point
SECS(at time t) = second eye cornea swelling at a given time-point
TECS(at time t) = third eye cornea swelling at a given time-point
- Small negative numbers for swelling (0 to -5 %) following application are evaluated as class I. Large negative numbers (>12 % below control) are probably due to erosion and indicate a severe effect (scored as class IV). Cases of values of -5 to -12 % are evaluated on a case by case basis but in the absence of other findings do not indicate a severe effect (class II).
CORNEA OPACITY CALCULATION
ΔCO at time t = CO at time t – CO at time 0
Mean ΔCOmax = (FECOmax(30min to 240min) + SECOmax(30min to 240min) + TECOmax(30min to 240min)) / 3
Where:
CO at time t = cornea opacity at (30, 75, 120, 180 and 240) minutes after the post-treatment rinse
CO at time 0 = baseline cornea opacity
ΔCO at time t = difference between cornea opacity at t time and cornea opacity baseline
FECO = first eye cornea opacity
SECO = second eye cornea opacity
TECO= third eye cornea opacity
max(30min to 240 min) = maximum opacity of the individual eye at 30 to 240 minutes minus baseline cornea opacity of the individual eye
FLUORESCEIN RETENTION CALCULATION
ΔFR at time t = FR at time t – FR at time 0
Mean ΔFR = (FEFR(30min) + SEFR(30min) + TEFR(30min)) / 3
Where:
FR at time t = fluorescein retention at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse
FR at time 0 = baseline fluorescein retention
ΔFR at time t = difference between fluorescein retention at t time and fluorescein retention baseline
FEFR = first eye fluorescein retention at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse minus baseline fluorescein retention
SEFR = second eye fluorescein retention at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse minus baseline fluorescein retention
TEFR = third eye fluorescein retention at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse minus baseline fluorescein retention

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- Experiment 1
- The test material was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. Two (2/3) cornea surfaces were cleared at 180 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. All cornea surfaces (3/3) were cleared at 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
- Overall ICE Class: 2xI 1xII
Experiment 2
- The test material was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. All cornea surfaces (3/3) were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
- Overall ICE Class: 3xI
The test material showed no significant corneal effect in the first experiment. As the test material was solid, the negative results were confirmed by a second experiment according to the recommendations of the OECD No. 438 guideline. The second experiment confirmed the negative results. Therefore, based on these in vitro eye irritation tests in isolated chicken eyes with the test material, the test material was a non-irritant.
POSITIVE CONTROL
- The positive control (Imidazole) was classified as severely irritating, UN GHS Classification: Category 1.
NEGATIVE CONTROL
- The negative control (Physiological saline) was classified as non-irritating, UN GHS Classification: No Category.
TEST VALIDITY
The results from all eyes used met the quality control standards. The negative control and positive control results were within the historical data range in each experiment. This study was considered to be valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified according to EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study the test material is a non-irritant to the eye.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro eye irritation study was performed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 438, under GLP conditions using isolated chicken's eyes.
In each experiment after the zero reference measurements, the eye was held in horizontal position and powdered 30 mg test material was applied onto the centre of the cornea in such a way that the entire surface of the cornea was covered. After 10 seconds, the surface was rinsed with physiological saline. Positive control eyes were treated with 30 mg powdered Imidazole. The negative control eye was treated with 30 μL of physiological saline (0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution). In each experiment, three test material treated eyes, three positive control treated eyes and one negative control treated eye were examined.
The results from all eyes used in the study met the quality control standards. The negative control and positive control results were within the historical control data range in each experiment. Thus, the study was considered to be valid.
More specifically, in Experiment I, no significant corneal swelling was observed during the four-hour observation period on test material treated eyes. No significant cornea opacity change and slight fluorescein retention change was observed on all three eyes. Test material was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. Two (2/3) cornea surfaces were cleared at 180 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. All cornea surfaces (3/3) were cleared at 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
In Experiment II, no corneal swelling was observed during the four-hour observation period on test material treated eyes. No significant cornea opacity change was observed on all three eyes. No significant fluorescein retention change was noted on all three eyes. Test material was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. The all cornea surfaces (3/3) were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
Therefore, under the conditions of the study, the test material is a non-irritant to the eye.
