Materials and methods
Test guideline

- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test material was placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of 3 rabbits following which the eyelids were gently held together for one second. The left eye served as the untreated control for each rabbit. None of the rabbits received a wash out.

ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE:
The treated eyes were examined in accordance with the following schedule, 24 48, 72* hours and 7 days* following instillation of the test material.
*Sodium fluorescein examinations were conducted at these intervals. After grading the eye reaction, one drop of sodium fluorescein was instilled directly onto the corneal surface of each rabbit. After a few seconds, excess stain was flushed from the corneal surface with distilled water and the eyes examined with ultraviolet light.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Sodium fluorescein and ultra violet light.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The results obtained do not allow the registered substance to be classified as an irritant to the eye according to the criteria set out in 47/458/EEC.
- Executive summary:
Three male and three female New Zealand White rabbits were used for this study.
Prior to test material administration, the eyes of each rabbit were examined with ultraviolet light following instillation of one drop of a 2.0 percent sodium fluorescein solution. Rabbits exhibiting corneal lesions were discarded.
The rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test material. The test material was placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit following which the eyelids were gently held together for one second. The left eye served as the untreated control for each rabbit. None of the rabbits received a wash out.
The treated eyes were examined in accordance with the following schedule, 24 48, 72* hours and 7 days* following instillation of the test material.
The results obtained do not allow the registered substance to be classified as an irritant to the eye according to the criteria set out in 47/458/EEC.
*Sodium fluorescein examinations were conducted at these intervals. After grading the eye reaction, one drop of sodium fluorescein was instilled directly onto the corneal surface of each rabbit. After a few seconds, excess stain was flushed from the corneal surface with distilled water and the eyes examined with ultraviolet light.
