Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating to the eye
Executive summary:

Three rabbits received 0.1 mL test substance in their eye after receiving topical anesthetics and systemic analgesics. No signs of irritation were observed during the 3 to 7 days test period. Slight redness was fully reversed at the end of the observation period. Therefore it is concluded that the substance is not irritating to the eye.
