Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml. lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment.
- Time after start of exposure: about 30 seconds

SCORING SYSTEM:
CORNEA
A. Opacity-degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
- No opacity: 0
- Scattered or diffuse area, details of iris clearly visible: 1
- Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured: 2
- Opalescent areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible: 3
- Opaque, iris invisible: 4

B. Area of cornea involved
- One quarter (or less) but not zero: 1
- Greater than one quarter, but less than half: 2
- Greater than half, but less than three quarters: 3
- Greater than three quarters, up to whole area: 4
A X B X 5 Total maximum = 80

IRIS
A. Values
- Normal: 0
- Folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcorneal injection (any or all of these or combination of any thereof) iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive): 1
- No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these): 2
A X 5

CONJUNCTIVAE
A. Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
- Vessels normal: 0
- Vessels definitely injected above normal: 1
- More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
- Diffuse beefy red: 3

B Chemosis
- No swelling: 0
- Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane): 1
- Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids: 2
- Swelling with lids about half closed: 3
- Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed: 4

C Discharge
- No discharge: 0
- Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner- canthus of normal animals): 1
- Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids: 2
- Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye: 3
(A + B + C) X 2 Total maximum =20

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp
