- Housing: individually in stainless steel cages(52 × 58 × 43 cm) with a grille floor and placed on a rack
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 -23 °C
- Humidity: 30 - 60 %
- Photoperiod: 12 hrs dark / 12 hrs light

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1 hour
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: yes
- Time after start of exposure: 1 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea opacity:
0 no ulceration or opacity
1 scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible
2 easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely perceptible
4 opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity

Iris:
0 normal
1 markedly deepend rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia or injection (any of these or a combination thereof), iris still reacting to light (a sluggish reaction is positive)
2 no reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)

Conjunctivae redness:
0 blood vessels normal
1 some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 diffuse, crimson clour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 diffuse beefy red

Conjunctivae edema:
0 no swelling
1 slight swelling (includes nictitating membranes)
2 obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 swelling with lids about half-closed
4 swelling with lids more than half-closed

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein

Executive summary:

Method

OECD guideline 405. 0.1 g of test substance was instilled in one eye of 3 rabbits; the other eye served as control. 1 hour after start of exposure, removal of residues with physiological saline was done. Observations were carried out 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after start up to 7 day; effects in terms of corneal opacitiy, iris, conjunctivae redness and chemosis were evaluated.

Results

Slight effects on corneal opacity were seen in 1/3 rabbit; effects on conjunctivae in terms of redness and chemosis were seen in 3/3 rabbits. All such effects were fully reversible within 7 days.
