Test system

Vehicle:
other: Polyethylenglycol 400
Controls:
other: untreated eye of test animal
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg in 0.4 mL Polyethylenglykol 400
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
14 Tage
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
Eyes were rinsed with physiological saline 24 hours after instillation.
Eyes were inspected for integrity before the testing. A solution of fluorescein, sodium salt (0.01%)
was dropped into the eye. Then the cornea was investigated using UV radiation 24 hours before app
lication. Afterwards eyes were rinsed.
24 hours , 72 hours, 7 day and 14 days after application eyes were examined for integrity in the same manner.
