- Controls:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.1 mL by volume equivalent to 57.8 mg of test material - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 24 hours
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 72 hours
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 1 male and 2 females
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: All treated eyes were washed with room temperature deionised water for one minute immediately after recording the 24 hour observation.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours
OBSERVATIONS:
The treated eyes of all animals were examined without magnification under white room lighting provided by daylight-type fluorescent ceiling fixtures and (if needed) an additional source of white light affixed to the examination table or using a hand-held flashlight. The grades of ocular reaction were recorded at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. The corneas of all treated eyes were examined immediately after the 24 hour observation with a fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution. Any of the corneas which exhibited fluorescein staining at the 24 hour observation were re-examined with the fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution at each consecutive observation until fluorescein staining of the cornea no longer occurred.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution and a Finoff ocular transilluminator with cobalt blue filter
