Guideline:
other: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.42
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test was carried out by applying 100 µl bulk volume of the crystalline substance to the conjunctival sac of the lower right eyelid of rabbits that had been previously examined and had a mean weight of 2.3 kg. The lids were then gently held together for 1 sec. The eye was not washed after the application. The second, left eye of the rabbits always remained untreated as the control. The assessment was made with the aid of an ophthalmoscope.Cornea findings were verified after 8 days using the fluorescein test (instillation of 1 drop of fluorescein solution in an ophthalmological formulation directly onto the cornea. After washing with physiological saline solution corneal lesions appear yellow-green, UV light or cobalt blue-filter).Findings were obtained 24, 48 and 72 h and 8 days after the beginning of the study.
