Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test item was evaluated in a study conducted according to procedure described in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) § 163.81-4 "Primary eye irritation study", Federal Register, Vol. 43, No. 163, August 22, 1978. 6 rabbits (3 males; 3 females) were used in this study. 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for a few seconds. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 mL of physiological saline. The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. The mean reaction scores for cornea, iris and conjunctiva observed after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days were summed up and the sum divided by 5. This procedure was carried out separately for unrinsed (A) and rinsed (B) eyes, respectively. No irritant effects were observed for any parameters at any timepoints. The instillation was found to cause no irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. The primary irritation indices obtained with rinsed and unrinsed eye, were equal to 0. Hence, the test item can be classified as a non-irritant to the eye.
