- Temperature: 18 ±3°C
- Humidity: 55±10%
- Air changes: at least 10x / hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated contralateral eye severed as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
The animals were observed for 72 hours after dosing.
The eyes were examined for signs of irritation throughout the observation period. Eye irritation was scored and recorded.
For calculation only the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings were used.
72 hours after administration the treated eyes were examined with the aid of a fluorescein solution.
