Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: not required: the untreated eye of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 44.0 mg (range 36.9-47.7 mg) (corresponding to a volume of approximately 0.1 mL)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application without washing

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival redness (score 2) was observed in 3/3 animals 1 h after instillation. The redness persisted in 3/3 animals (score 1) until the 48 h reading time point. Chemosis (score 1-2) was observed in 3/3 animals and iridial irritation (score 1) was seen in 2/3 animals at the 1 h reading time point. Both effects had cleared completely by the 24 h reading. All effects were completely reversible within 72 h.
Remains of the test substance were noted in the treated eye of 3/3 animals on Day 1, while remains were present on the outside of the eyelids on Day 2 in 1/3 animals.
Other effects:
There was no mortality, no clinical signs were observed and the body weight was within the normal range during the study period.
