- OCULAR OBSERVATIONS
Both eyes of all rabbits were examined for ocular abnormalities prior to the study initiation. The pre-initiation examination included the use of sodium fluorescein and ultraviolet light.
Both eyes of all rabbits were examined macroscopically for ocular irritation using a hand-held penlight in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing and at 4, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days if irritation persisted. In addition, both eyes of all rabbits were further examined at 72 hours and 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days with sodium fluorescein and ultraviolet light.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Positive conjunctival reactions were observed in the treated eyes of all animals. Corneal and iridial reactions were observed in the right eye of three and four rabbits, respectively. Corneal and iridial irritation subsided by day 10 or earlier. Conjunctival irritation was seen in all six rabbits and subsided by day 21 or earlier. Conjunctival irritation only persisted to day 21 in three animals and this was considered to be minor and reversible (see Table 1). Mean scores of 2.9, 1.9, 0.39 and 0.22 can be calculated for conjunctival chemosis, conjunctival redness, iridial lesion and corneal opacity, respectively, for the six animals, based on individual irritancy scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Other effects:
- There were no mortalities or significant body weight changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 1 in accordance with EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, mean scores of 2.9, 1.9, 0.39 and 0.22 can be calculated for conjunctival chemosis, conjunctival redness, iridial lesion and corneal opacity, respectively, for the six animals, based on individual irritancy scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Executive summary:
0.1 mL of test material was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of the right eyes of six albino rabbits. The eyelids were held closed for approximately 1 second and released. Left eyes served as contralateral controls.
The eyes were examined for ocular reactions in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing and at 4, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days if irritation persisted. Sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible corneal damage at 72 hours, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days.
Positive conjunctival reactions were noted in the treated eye of all animals. Corneal and iridal reactions were observed in the right eye of three and four rabbits, respectively. Corneal and iridal irritation subsided by day 10 or earlier. Positive conjunctival irritation subsided by 21 or earlier. Minor conjunctival irritation not considered a positive score persisted through day 21 for three animals.
