Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- A dose of 50 mg of the test substance was administered into one eye of one male and one female adult New Zealand White rabbit (3-4 kg) for an exposure period of 24 hours. Then the treated eyes were rinsed with sterile water. The contralateral eye remained untreated and served as a control. The eyes were examined and the grade of the ocular reaction was recorded until day 7 according to Draize et al. (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 82, 377-390 (1944)).

Results
- Irritation parameter:
- overall irritation score
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 1 h, 24 h, 2 d, 3 d, 6 d, 7 d
- Score:
- 0
- Max. score:
- 13
- Reversibility:
- other: not applicable - score = 0 at any time point
- Other effects:
- at the inspection 1 h after the application of the test substance for 24 hours a slight redness of the treated eye (score = 1) was found. This finding was reversible within 24 h (score = 0).
