Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 72 hours and 7 days after application
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Details on study design:
Eyes were rinsed with physiological saline 24 hours after instillation.

Eyes were inspected for integrity before the testing. A solution of fluorescein, sodium salt (0.01%) was dropped into the eye. Then the cornea was investigated using UV radiation 24 hours before application.
