Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Covance Research Products, Inc., Denver, PA
- Age at study initiation: The male animals were born on 27 Aug 2016 and the female animal was born on 20 Aug 2016.
- Weight at study initiation: The pre-test body weight range was 2.4 - 2.7 kg.
- Housing: The animals were individually housed in suspended wire-bottom cages. Absorbent paper bedding was placed beneath the cages and changed at least three times per week.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Fresh PMI Rabbit Chow (Diet No. 5321) was provided daily.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Water was available ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: at least five days.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C):
- Humidity (%):
- Air changes (per hr):
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/dark cycle

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 ml equivalent (60 mg)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
two males, one female
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no
- Time after start of exposure:

SCORING SYSTEM: Ocular reactions were graded according to the numerical Draize technique.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Sodium fluorescein dye procedures were performed at the 24-hour observation interval. The eye was examined with the aid of an ultraviolet light source.
