Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated right eye of same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 ml
- Concentration (if solution): 100%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hour(s)
Observation period (in vivo):
21 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
4
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): rinsing with 20 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h


SCORING
- time schedule: 1, 24, 48, 72 h; 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein
- After the first 24 hour reading Fluorescein was instilled. After rinsing with 20 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution the eyes were examined again using UV-light to detect possible corneal damage

Results and discussion

Results
Remarks on result:
probability of severe irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Results:
- Well defined signs of irritation were observed on the treated eyes, including cornea opacity, iris lesion, crimson red conjunctiva and swelling of the conjuctiva.
- The changes were not reversible in two out of four animals after an observation period of 21 days.
