- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Eyelids were held together for about one second and then released
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Ocular irritation was evaluated using a white light source at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Preparation and Selection of Animals:
Prior to instillation (within 24 hours), both eyes of a group of animals were examined using a white light source and a fluorescein dye procedure. One drop of 2% ophthalmic fluorescein sodium was instilled into both eyes of each rabbit. The eyes were rinsed with physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) after instillation of the fluorescein and then evaluated for corneal damage using an ultraviolet light source. Just prior to instillation, the eyes were re-examined with a white light source and scored for abnormalities according to the "Scale for Scoring Ocular Lesions" Draize et al. Three healthy, naive animals (not previously tested) without pre-existing ocular irritation were selected for test. Initially, only one rabbit was placed on test. In the absence of any irritation in this animal, the remaining two animals were tested to confirm the result. A systemic analgesic (Buprenorphine SR®) was administered to relieve potential discomfort associated with eye irritation which provides therapeutic relief for periods of up to 76 hours. Prior to test substance instillation, 0.1 mg/kg of body weight of the analgesic was administered to the animals and at appropriate intervals to maintain therapeutic blood levels.
Instillation:
Prior to instillation, 2-3 drops of ocular anesthetic (Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5%) were placed into both the treated and control eye of each animal. One-tenth of a milliliter of the test substance was then instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The other eye of each rabbit remained untreated with the test substance and served as a control. The rabbits were then returned to their designated cages.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, Catalase should not be classified as an eye-irritant.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted to assess the ocular irritation potential of Catalase according to the OECD Guideline No. 405 in compliance with GLP.
The study was conducted in a stepwise fashion. Initially, one-tenth of a milliliter of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of one healthy rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. Since there was no irritation observed in this animal, the test was completed on two additional animals. There was no ocular irritation noted in any treated eye during this study.
Under the test conditions, Catalase should not be classified as an eye-irritant.
