Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: one untreated eye of test animals served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, 72 h post application. If no irritation indices were observed after 72 h, the study was finished. If eye irritation was observed, animals were monitored usually on day 7, 14 and 21 after application until the changes had completely subsided, however for not more than 21 days after application
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The eye was not rinsed for at least 24 h following instillation
