Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1-ml of the test material (0.027 g) was administered into the conjunctival sac of one eye per rabbit. The other eye remained untreated to serve as a control.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Eyes kept unwashed.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male rabbits
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM: Irritation was graded and scored according to the Draize technique (Draize, J. H. 1977). Classification of the ocular irritancy potential was done according to a modified system (Kay, J. H. and Calandra, J. C., 1962).

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: The light source of a standard ophtalmoscope facilitated eye examination.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material produced iridal inflammation and moderate conjunctival irritation when instilled into the eyes of three rabbits.
Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and the remaining eye appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.
