ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
not reported

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: 50 mg talcum into the other eye
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):
50 mg into the conjunctival sac of one eye per rabbit. The contralateral eye received 50 mg talcum to serve as a control.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Once. There was no mentioning in the raw data or report that eyes were rinsed after treatment. Consequently the treatment/exposure period was equivalent to the entire observation period following administration, which was 8 days, or lasted until removal of the test material by physiological mechanisms, whichever happened sooner.
Observation period (in vivo):
8 days (observations at 10 min, 1 h, 3h, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 days post instillation)
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
Descriptive grading in the raw data: no effect / questionable / slight / strong / very strong.
In addition, indication of the type of finding as appropriate: erythema / edema / scale formation / necrosis / opacity / scar.
The descriptive scores in the raw data were converted into OECD/ Draize scores.

FLUORESCEIN:
On day 8 staining with fluorescein to support eye evaluation.
