- STUDY DESIGN
0.1 mL the test material was applied into the right eye of each of 6 animals.
TREATMENT
In accordance with OECD 405 (1981). The test substance is placed in the conjunctival sac of one eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids are then gently held together for about one second. The other eye serves as control.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
-Washing: No
SCORING SYSTEM
The primary occular irritation potential of the testing material was assessed with procedure of Draize, H.J. "Appraisal of the Safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics", Assoc. of food and drug officials of the U.S., Austin, Texas (1959).
OBSERVATIONS
- Irritation: The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4 and 7 days after instillation of the test substance. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. Additionally at 24 hours and 7 days, the eyes were examined with fluorescein stain under an UV light. Any persistent changes on day 7 were re-evaluated on day 10 using a hand held opthalmoscope and the fluorescein method. The irritation was assessed according to Draize as laid down in OECD 405 (1981).

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- All six animals developed opacity of the cornea within 24 hours after being dosed. Three rabbits had iritis at 48 hours and four at 72 hours. By Day 7 iritis had subsided in all rabbits and opacity had cleared in one eye. One rabbit had developed pannus. By Day 10 two rabbits still had opacity. In one there were ghost vessels and slight scarring adjudged irreversible. The second animal was retained until Day 15 at which time the opacity had cleared and the Draize score was 0.

Mean scores per animal over three timepoints (24-72 hours):
Corneal Opacity: 1.33/2/1/1/2/1.66: this means that 6/6 have a score >= 1 (CLP limit for classification as irritant, if at least in 2 of 3 animals)
Iritis: 0/0.33/0/0.66/0.66/0.66: this means that 0/6 have a score >= 1 (CLP limit for classification as irritant, if at least in 2 of 3 animals)
Redness: 1.33/2/1.33/1/2/2: this means that 3/6 animals have scores of >= 2 (CLP limit for classification as irritant, if at least in 2 of 3 animals)
Chemosis: 0.66/0/0/1/2/1.66: this means that 1/6 animals have a score of >= 2 (CLP limit for classification as irritant, if at least in 2 of 3 animals)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Serious Eye Damage, Category 1
- Remarks:
- in accordance with EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its updates)
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the mean eye irritation scores observed in the animals following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours indicate an eye irritation potential. However, as in one animal irreversible effects were observed, Dimeth Cyclormol is considered to cause serious eye damage.
- Executive summary:
Dimeth Cyclormol was tested in an eye irritation test in rabbits similar to OECD 405 but non-GLP and therefore scored Klimish 2. The right eye of six rabbits was treated with 0.1 ml of the undiluted test article.
Cornea opacity: Mean grade of 24, 48 and 72 hours is 1.5 (6/6 eyes scored >= 1; less than 4/6 eyes scored 3) indicating eye irritation. Opacity occurred within 24 hours after being dosed and one rabbit developed pannus. By day 10 two rabbits still had opacity. In one animal ghost vessels and slight scarring were adjudged irreversible and scoring was terminated. The opacity seen in the other animal had cleared by day 15.
Iris: Mean score during during 24 to 72 hours is 0.39 (less than 4/6 eyes scored 1). By day 7 iritis had subsided in all rabbits.
Conjuctivae: Mean score during 24 to 72 hours is 1.61 (less than 4/6 eyes scored 2).
Conjunctival chemosis: Mean score during 24 to 72 hours is 0.89 (less than 4/6 eyes scored 2).
In conclusion: Based solely on the scores the substance is an eye irritant. In view of the one animal showing irreversible effects, scar formation, the final conclusion is that the substance causes serious eye damage.
