Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single exposure
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 mL of physiological saline.
- Time after start of exposure: Approximately 30 seconds after treatment in 3 of the 6 rabbits

SCORING SYSTEM: Same scale as the one provided in the OECD guideline, with the exception of 1 criteria (changes related to discharge were included in addition to the other parameters evaluated)

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: slit lamp

The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. The mean reaction scores for cornea, iris and conjunctiva observed after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days were summed up and the sum divided by 5. This procedure was carried out separately for unrinsed and rinsed eyes.

Index:
0 = none
0.1 - 10.9 = minimal
11.0 - 25.9 = slight
26.0 - 55.9 = moderate
56.0 - 84.0 = marked
above 84.0 = extreme

Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item was found to cause minimal irritation at cornea and conjunctiva (redness, chemosis, discharge) when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa (primary irritation index 3.8). When the application site was rinsed, irritation was minimized (primary irritation index 0.8) with effects at conjunctiva (redness, chemosis). Findings in cornea were observed in one animal and healed by the second day. Redness of the conjunctiva occurred in all animals with unrinsed eyes and a score 1 effect was still observed in one animal at the last observation time point.
