Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour post-dosing slight corneal opacities, iritis and moderate to severe conjunctivitis was noted in unwashed eyes. Washed eyes had mild conjunctivitis. Irritation worsened after the 1-hour scoring and unwashed eyes developed pannus, hemorrhagic conjuctivae, vascularization, blanched areas on the cornea and bulging of the cornea.

Washed eyes recovered within 72 hours. However, severe irritation persisted in 2 of the unwashed eyes througout study day 22.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study , the test material is judged to be severely irritating to unwashed eyes.
Executive summary:

Calcium peroxide was instilled into the eyes of 9 New Zealand White rabbits at a dose of 0.10 g. The eyes of 6 rabbits remained unwashed while the eyes of 3 rabbits were gently washed with 100 mL of tap water approx. 20 -30 secondes after treatment. The eyes were assessed using the method of Draize and Primary Eye Irritation Indexes were calculated.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is judged to be severely irritating to unwashed eyes.
