Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
0.1 mg of the test substance was allowed to fall on the lower everted lid of one eye of each out of six rabbits, then upper and lower lids were carefully closed and held together for at least one second. Untreated eye served as a control. Eyes were not rinsed and examined 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after the instillation.
GLP compliance:
no

Other effects:
24 hours after WTR 38 has been brought into the eyes, slight corneal damage and slight iritis were observed in 4 out of 6 rabbits. Moderate or severe conjunctivae damage was observed in all rabbits. In the course of the 7 days observation period these eye lesions recoverd partly.
