Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mL (0.03 mg)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single treatment
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein

Prior to instillation, 2-3 drops of ocular anesthetic (Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmie Solution, 0.5%) were placed into both the treated and control eye of each animal. One-tenth of a milliliter (0.03 g) of the test substance was then instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The other eye of each rabbit remained untreated with the test substance and served as a control.
