Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Corneas free of defects (opacity, scratches, pigmentation etc.) were dissected with a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. Isolated corneas were mounted in cornea holders that consists of anterior and posterior chambers. Both chambers were filled to excess with pre-warmed Eagles’s MEM (without phenol red) and then equilibrated in a vertical position at about 32 °C for at least 1 hour.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
After the equilibration period the medium in both chambers was replaced with fresh prewarmed medium and initial corneal opacity readings were taken for each cornea with an opacitometer. Any corneas that showed macroscopic tissue damage or an opacity value < 542 opacity units were discarded.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES
3 corneas were used per treatment group.

SOLVENT CONTROL USED
De-ionized water

POSITIVE CONTROL USED
Imidazole (CAS No. 288-32-4) 20 % (w/v) solution in deionized water for non-surfactant solid test substances

TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: at least 3 times with Eagle’s MEM (containing phenol red) and once with Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red)

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: was observed visually. Final corneal opacity readings were taken for each cornea with an opacitometer.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader(OD490)

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)

DECISION CRITERIA: Evaluation of results were based on the decision criteria used in OECD guideline 437.
