Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
24 hours after exposure, the eye was thoroughly washed with warm water to end the exposure.

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days after exposure the effects were scored. After 24 hours and 14 days the eye was stained with fluorescein and a split lamp was used for assessment.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The scoring criteria were according to guidance 84/449/EWG (EC document L251/112):

- Corneal opacity
0 = No ulceration or opacity
1 = Scattered or diffuse opacity areas, details of the iris clearly visible
2 = Easily recognizable translucent areas, details of the iris somewhat shaded
3 = Pearly areas, no details of the iris visible, size of the pupil hardly recognizable.
4 = Opaque cornea, iris not recognizable due to opacity was used for assessment.

- Iris score
0 = Normal
1 = Pronounced deepened folds, congestion, swelling, slight circumcorneal hyperemia or injection: one of these symptoms or a combination. The iris reacts to light (slow reaction is positive).
2 = No reaction to light, hemorrhage or severe destruction (one or all symptoms).

- Conjunctiva redness and/ or nictitating membrane
0 = Blood vessels normal
1 = Some blood vessels show a marked hyperemia (Injection)
2 = Diffuse, crimson color, individual vessels difficult recognizable
3 = Completely red

- Chemosis
0 = No swelling
1 = Any swelling over the normal (including nictitating membrane)
2 = Clear swelling with partial return of the eyelids
3 = Swelling with slightly half-closed lids
4 = Swelling with more than half-closed lids

- Additional test evaluation: exudation
0 = no exudation
1 = low exudation
2 = clear exudation, moistening of the hair in the eye area
3 = strong exudation, moisturizing significantly over the eye area
