Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Corneas free of defects (opacity, scratches, pigmentation etc.) were dissected with a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. Isolated corneas were mounted in cornea holders that consists of anterior and posterior chambers. Both chambers were filled to excess with pre-warmed Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red) and then equilibrated in a vertical position at about 32 °C for at least 1 hour.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
After the equilibration period the medium in both chambers was replaced with fresh pre-warmed medium and initial corneal opacity readings were taken for each cornea with an opacitometer. Any corneas that showed macroscopic tissue damage or an opacity value < 548 opacity units were discarded.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES
3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
yes, 750 µLwater

POSITIVE CONTROL USED
yes, 750 µL ethanol (PC1), 750 µL dimethylformamide (PC2)

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
750 µL, 10 min

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD:
no

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
Number of washing steps after exposure period: at least 3 times with Eagle’s MEM (containing phenol red) and once with Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red).

POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION:
2 h

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: opacity readings were taken for each cornea with an opacitometer.
- Corneal permeability: The optical density (OD490) of passaged sodium fluorescein dye was determined with the aid of a SunriseTM Absorbance Reader.


SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
Evaluation of the test results based on to the criteria given in OECD 437 (July 2013).
