Details on study design:
The test material was moistened with saline and applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye. 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hours later the eyes were evaluated by means of a magnifying glas. 24 hours after aplication the eyes were washed with saline. at 48 and 72 hours eyes were additionally treated with 0,01% Fluorescine to increase sensitivity of the examination. Findings were evaluated according to "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods , Drugs and Cosmetics ", FDA , Austin, Texas , S . 51, 1975.

Executive summary:

The test material was moistened with saline and applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye per rabbit in 6 animals. 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hours later the eyes were evaluated by means of a magnifying glas. 24 hours after aplication the eyes were washed with saline. At 48 and 72 hours eyes were additionally treated with 0,01% Fluorescine to increase sensitivity of the examination.

Findings were evaluated according to "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods , Drugs and Cosmetics ", FDA , Austin, Texas , S . 51, 1975.

The maximal irriation index was recorded at 1 h after application as 7 of 110.

The test item was not irritant on rabbit eyes.
