- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.02 and 0.005 mL - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single application without washing
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Reading time point: 18-24 h
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

- Details on study design:
- SCORING SYSTEM: The individual numerical scores of each eye treated with a given volume or concentration of a chemical were added together and then divided by the number of eyes to obtain the score of the injury caused by the treatment. The level of 5 was selected as representative of severe injury. This figure corresponded to necrosis, visible after staining and covering about 3/4 of the surface of the cornea; or a more severe necrosis covering a smaller area.
See Tables 1 and 2 under "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables".
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein
