Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Froxfield (U.K.) Ltd., Petersfield, Hampshire, England.
- Age at study initiation: Approximately 12 to 14 weeks of age.
- Weight at study initiation: 2.7 to 3.2 kg.
- Housing: Individually in metal cages with perforated floors
- Diet: ad libitum; standard laboratory diet SDS Stanrab (P) Rabbit Diet (not analysed for nufrients, contaminants or micro-organisms)
- Water: ad libitum (analysed weekly for contaminants and micro-organisms)
- Acclimation period: All rabbits were acclimatised to the experimental environment.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): ca. 19.
- Humidity (%): 30 – 70.
- Air changes (per hr): 19.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The contralateral eye remained untreated.
Amount / concentration applied:
Amount(s) applied:0.1 mL.
- Placed into the lower everted lid of one eye of each animal. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single exposure (1 second).
Observation period (in vivo):
Examination of the eyes was made after 1 hour and 1, 2, 3 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation), 4 and 7 days after instillation.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 (One animal was treated in advance of the others, to ensure that if a severe response was produced, no further animals would be exposed)
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
Ocular irritation was assessed using the prescribed numerical system:

Cornea
Opacity: Degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
No ulceration or opacity 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible 1
Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured 2
Nacreous areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity 4

Iris
Normal 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia or injection, any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive) 1
No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these) 2

Conjunctivae
Redness (refers to the most severe reading of palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, as compared to the control eye)
Blood vessels normal 0
Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) 1
Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible 2
Diffuse beefy red 3

Chemosis (lids and/or nictating membranes)
No swelling 0
Any swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes) 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids 2
Swelling with lids about half-closed 3
Swelling with lids more than half-closed 4

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Observation of the eyes was aided by the use of a handheld light.
