Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the opposite eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
100 µl equivalent to approd >30 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
planned for 21 days but terminated after 7 days because no effects were observed
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 females
Details on study design:
A dose ofapprox >30 mg Macrolex Gelb G was administered into th conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of 3 female rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away fron the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent losss of test material.The left eye which remains untreated served as a control. 24 hours later the eyes were rinsed with saline. The eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration. Eyes were evaluated for cornea opacity, iris and conjunctival changes. Scoring was done according to Draize.
24 hours after administration the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein and examined

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

According to OECD 405 and GLP each of 3 female rabbits received instillations of about 30 mg test substance into the conjunctival sac of the right eye; the respective left eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes of the animals were observed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post application. Additionally, 24 hours post application the eyes were treated wutg fluorescein and examined . The scoring was done according to Draize. In none of the animals eyes were affected by treatment. Therefore Macrolex Gelb G was evaluated to be non-irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
