Strain:

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single exposure without rinsing.
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 (3 males and 3 females)
Details on study design:
Male or female New Zealand White rabbits are dosed with volumes of 0.1, 0.01 and 0.005 ml (liquid or solid). The dose is instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye per animal or is placed directly on the eye. The eyelids are held together for one second. Six eyes are dosed per test volume. The eyes are scored by the attached system at one hour, approximately 4 hours, one day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days after dosing. Additional readings are made, if necessary, at 14 and 21 days. Fluorescein (2%) staining is used to determine corneal injury before dosing and at readings after one day.

SCALE FOR SCORING OCULAR LESIONS
Cornea:
A. Opacity--degree of density (most dense area taken for reading)
No opacity------------------------------------------------------- 0
Scattered or diffuse area, iris details clearly visible---------- 1
Easily discernible translucent areas, iris details slightly obscured------------------------------------------- 2
Opalescent areas, iris details not visible, pupil size barely discernible------------------------------------------ 3
Opaque, iris invisible------------------------------------------- 4
B. Area of cornea involved
One-quarter or less, but not zero-------------------------------- 1
Greater than one-quarter, but less than half--------------------- 2
Greater than half, but less than three-quarter------------------- 3
Greater than three-quarter, up to whole area--------------------- 4

Iris:
A. Normal----------------------------------------------------------- 0
Folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcomeal injection (any or all), iris still reacting to light-------- 1
No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction-------------- 2

Conjunctivae :
A. Vessels normal--------------------------------------------------- 0
Vessels definitely injected above normal------------------------- 1
Diffuse, deep crimson red, individual vessels not readily discernible------------------------------------- 2
Diffuse beefy red-------------------------------------- 3
B. No chemosis------------------------------------------------------ 0
Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane)-------- 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids------------------- 2
Swelling with lids about half closed----------------------------- 3
Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed-------- 4
C. No discharge------------------------------- 0
Any amount of discharge different from normal-------------------- 1
Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs adjacent to lids--------------------------------------- 2
Discharge with considerable moistening around the eyes----------- 3

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

Instillation of 50 mg of sample (equivalent of 0.1 ml) into rabbit eyes resulted in no corneal injury in any of 6 animals. Iritis was apparent in 3 animals and minor conjunctival irritation developed in 6 rabbits. Substantial ocular discharge was evident in 3 animals. After 24 hours, all rabbit eyes exhibited a normal appearance.
