Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye of test animal
Amount / concentration applied:
undiluted
Amount applied: 0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):

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 and 72 hours after application eyes were examined for integrity in the same manner.
