- Preliminarty Test: Rabbit Enucleated Eye Test (REET)
This test was completed prior to an in vivo testing in accordance with OECD Guideline 405 as a step-wise procedure in the interest of animal welfare. This study was completed to ascertain any ocular irritancy potential of the test material in the rabbit following application onto the cornea of the enucleated eye. The REET was completed to confirm information that the test material may cause irritation in a rabbit eye.
For the REET, 0.1 mL of test material was applied onto the cornea of three separate enucleated eyes. The enucleated eyes have been stored at 32 +/- 1.5 degrees C within a superfusion chamber. The superfusion chamber, a water heating circulator, gave a stable temperature. Also, a persistaltic pump was used to supply saline solution at a flow rate of 0.15 - 0.4 ml/minute into the reat of each chamber of the apparatus in order to irrigate the surface of the cornea.
The removed eyes were allowed acclimate for 30 minutes. Three eyes were treated with test material and two eyes were untreated and were controls. For test eyes, 0.1 mL of undiluted test substance was applied to the cornea and allowed to remain for 30 seconds. Then the test material was washed away using 20 mL of saline solution. Immediately following the saline wash, the treat eye was returned to the chamber and continued to be flushed wth saline.
Endpoints included corneal opacity, condition of corneal epithelium, fluorescein uptake, and percentage change of corneal thickness.
After analysis of REET results, it was determined that the test material has the potential to cause severe ocular irritancy in vivo. Therefore, the in vivo eye irritation study is not required.

Test Guidance
The Rabbit Enucleation Eye Test (REET) was completed prior to an in vivo testing in accordance with OECD Guideline 405 as a step-wise procedure in the interest of animal welfare.
Method and materials
This study was completed to ascertain any ocular irritancy potential of the test material in the rabbit following application onto the cornea of the enucleated eye. The REET was completed to confirm information that the test material may cause irritation in a rabbit eye.
For the REET, 0.1 mL of test material was applied onto the cornea of three separate enucleated eyes. The enucleated eyes have been stored at 32 +/- 1.5 degrees C within a superfusion chamber. The superfusion chamber, a water heating circulator, gave a stable temperature. Also, a persistaltic pump was used to supply saline solution at a flow rate of 0.15 - 0.4 ml/minute into the reat of each chamber of the apparatus in order to irrigate the surface of the cornea.
The removed eyes were allowed acclimate for 30 minutes. Three eyes were treated with test material and two eyes were untreated and were controls. For test eyes, 0.1 mL of undiluted test substance was applied to the cornea and allowed to remain for 30 seconds. Then the test material was washed away using 20 mL of saline solution. Immediately following the saline wash, the treat eye was returned to the chamber and continued to be flushed wth saline.
Endpoints included corneal opacity, condition of corneal epithelium, fluorescein uptake, and percentage change of corneal thickness. Following 4 hours of treatment, all test eyes had scores > or = to 1 for corneal opacity. All other endpoints were increased as compared with that of the control eyes.
Results
After analysis of REET results, it was determined that the test material has the potential to cause severe ocular irritancy ex vivo. Therefore, the acute in vivo eye irritation study is not required.
Conclusion
The test material has the potential to cause severe ocular irritancy ex vivo. In accordance with EU CLP Regulation No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance as Eye Dam. Category 1 is required for eye irritation.
