SCORING SYSTEM:
The evaluation of eye irritation is performed according to the guidelines:

Cornea opacity (op): Degree of density (the most dense area is taken for reading)
0 = No ulceration or opacity
1 = Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal luster), details of iris clearly visible
2 = Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 = Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 = Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity

Area of cornea involved (the assessment of these ocular reactions is performed independent of the quoted guidelines):
1 = >0<=1/4
2 = >1/4<1/2
3 = >1/2<3/4
4 = >3/4

Iris:
0 = Normal
1 = Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia or injection, any of these observations or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 = No reaction to Iight, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)

Conjunctivae redness (red): Refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, cornea and iris
0 = Blood vessels normal
1 = Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 = Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 = Diffuse beefy red

Chemosis (sw): Lids and/or nictitating membranes
0 = No swelling
1 = Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes)
2 = Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 = SweIling with lids about half closed
4 = Swelling with Iids more than half closed

Discharge (the assessment of these ocular reactions is performed independent of the quoted guidelines):
0 = No discharge
1 = Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner
canthus of normal animals)
2 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids
3 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye

Description of any ocular findings not covered by this scale were recorded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate conjunctival redness (1 and 24 h) and slight discharge (1 h) were observed initially for 24 h at maximum. The ocular reactions were reversible in all animals within 48 hours after application. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.0 for corneal opacity and for iris, 0.3 for conjunctival redness and 0.0 for chemosis.
