Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six healthy young adult albino rabbits were used in this study. 0.1 ml of the experimental material was instilled in to the right eyes of the test animals while the other eyes remained untreated to serve as controls . The test material was not washed from the eyes.
The treated eyes were examined a t 1, 24, 48 & 72 hrs. as well as 5 & 7 days following instillation of the test material into the eyes. Interpretation of the results was made in accordance with the grading system outlined in the "Illustrated Guide for Grading Eye lrritation By Hazardous Substances".
