Irritant / corrosive response data:
No positive ocular reactions were observed in the three animals with washed eyes.
SC-66276 produced slight conjunctiva! irritation (all three animals) in treated eyes that were unwashed after treatment. All treated eyes in this group returned to a normal appearance by 72 hours after treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In conclusion, according to the Kay and Calandra(3) classification, SC-66276 is considered to be mildly irritating in the treated
eyes of rabbits that were unwashed after treatment and practically nonirritating in the treated eyes of animals receiving a washout after test material instillation.
