Details on study design:
CONDUCT
A dose of 0.1 mL test substance was administered into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lid was then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of test material.

EXAMINATIONS
The eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp prior to the administration and also 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the administration. 24 hours after administration, the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein and examined.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Under the present test conditions, a single application of 0.1 mL per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused the following effects:
Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in animal nos. one and two 1 hour after instillation.
The cornea and the iris were not affected by instillation of the test compound.

There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

For the assessment of eye irritation a study according to OECD TG 405 is available. In this study 0.1 mL of the unchanged test substance was instilled in the conjunctival sac of the lower lid of each of three rabbits. Examination of the eyes revealed 1 hour after dosing conjunctiva (redness) score 1 in 2/3 animals. All changes were resolved 24 hours post application at the latest (all 24, 48 and 72 -hour scores zero).
