- Photoperiod: 12 h / 12 h (6.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m. / 6.00 p.m. – 6.00 a.m.)

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL bulk volume (about 28 mg of the comminuted test item).
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The test item was applied in a single dose to the conjunctival sac of the right eyelid.
Observation period (in vivo):
Approx. 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application and then at weekly intervals maximally up to day 14.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the treated eye of the animal(s) was rinsed with 3 to 6 mL of lukewarm tap water for 1 to 2 minutes using a syringe with a blunt probe.
- Time after start exposure period: about (but not less than) 1 hour after application of the test item

PROCEDURE
- Body weight determination: Just before application of the test item and after the last reading.
- Local anesthesia: One drop of local anesthetic eye drops in each eye.
- Analgesia: 1 hour before and 8 hours after application with buprenorphine (0.01 mg/kg s.c.) and thereafter in 12 hour intervals until local and/or systemic findings had nearly disappeared. Meloxicam (0.5 mg/kg s.c.) 8 hours after application and thereafter in 24 hours intervals until local and/or systemic findings had nearly disappeared.
- Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animals was made at least once each day.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The evaluation of eye irritation was performed according to the quoted guidelines. In addition to specific observations recommended by the regulatory authorities, evaluations were made of discharge from the eye and the area of cornea affected by the lesions.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Reading reactions on cornea or iris were observed using a slit lamp. Additional findings like corneal lesions detected with the aid of fluorescein.
