Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Three New Zealand White (Hsdlf: NZW) strain rabbits were used for the eye irritation study. Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test item, was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. I
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to Draize, (from Draize J H (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49).
GLP compliance:
yes

Any other information on results incl. tables

No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.

In the conjunctivae, grade 2 redness and grade 1 chemosis and discharge were noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment. Grade 1 redness was noted in all treated eyes and grade 1 chemosis was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Grade 1 redness was noted in two treated eyes at the 48-hour observation.

One treated eye appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and two treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.

I After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to Draize.

No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.

In the conjunctivae, grade 2 redness and grade 1 chemosis and discharge were noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment. Grade 1 redness was noted in all treated eyes and grade 1 chemosis was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Grade 1 redness was noted in two treated eyes at the 48-hour observation.

One treated eye appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and two treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.

As a result, the test item has not to be classified as irritating to the eyes.
