Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Procedure

100 mg of the test item were administered once to the conjunctival sac of the left eyes of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control. 24 hours after administration and at all other designated examination times at which the treated eyes still showed discharge or at which a corneal examination with fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out thoroughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37 °C.

The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours, the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of a 0.01 % fluorescein-sodium solution. Lesions in cornea, iris or conjunctivae were graded numerically. All other changes or toxic effects were recorded.

RESULTS

One hour up to 48 hours after administration the conjunctivae of the animals showed definitely injected blood vessels and sporadically very slight swellings. Additionally, serous eye discharge was noted. Four days after administration all signs of irritating were reversible.

Opacity of cornea all animals 0.0

Iris all animals 0.0

Redness of conjunctiva all animals 0.55

Chemosis of conjunctiva all animals 0.0

Testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed, that the substance is not irritating to eye.
