A slight reddening of the conjunctivae were observed in all animals and a slight to moderate swelling of the conjunctivae was observed in both male animals and one female animal on administration day.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The single administration of Diketon into the right eye of 2 (3) males and 2 female rabbits with a volume of 0.1 ml/eye (corresponding to 61.5 -65.2 mg) resulted in slight reddening of the conjunctivae observed in all animals on the administration day and on days 2 and 3 (except one female animal only until day 2). Slight to moderate swelling of the conjunctivae was observed in two male animals and one female animaion the administration

day. In one female animal slight swelling was seen until day 3. All animals were without findings on day 4.

According to the system of evaluation recommended for EU, the mean values of findings relevant for classification at the time-points 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration were 0 for the cornea and iris, 0.17 for conjuntival swelling and 0.59 for conjunctival reddening. Therefore, according to EU classification criteria the test substance is not eye irritating.
