- Age at study initiation: 10-13 weeks
- Weight (kg) at study initiation: 2.22 male, 2.28 female
- Housing: singly
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 +/- 1
- Humidity (%): 50-70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 10h light

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
100 mg of the test compound were instilled into the conjunctiual sac of the left eye. The eyelids uere then held closed for 1 second. The right eye serued as a control. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits with warm water for 1 minute.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 per sex
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
