Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harald Schriever, Kaninchenfarm, D-2740 Bremervorde, Neuendamm 88
- Weight at study initiation: 2.4 - 2.8 kg
- Housing: Individually
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, Ssniff Mu Z (pellets), Ssniff Spezialdiaten GmbH
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, drinking water
- Acclimation period: At least 7 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 +/- 2°C
- Humidity (%): 50 to 85%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12


Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
- Concentration (if solution): Undiluted

Duration of treatment / exposure:
0.1 mL of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye while the right eye served as control. On animal #4 to 6 the treated eye was washed out 4 seconds post-administration with 10 mL lukewarm water.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, and 72 hour
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 animals in total
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Washing was done in animals #4 to 6
- Time after start of exposure: 4 seconds after administration


SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea opacity- degree of density (area most dense taken for reading): Grade

No ulceration or opacity: 0
Scattered or diffused areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre); details of iris clearly visible: 1
Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured: 2
Nacreous areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible: 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity: 4

Iris: Grade

Normal: 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia, or injection, any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light: 1
No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these): 2

Conjunctivae Redness (refers to the most severe reading of palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, cornea, and iris): Grade

Blood vessels normal: 0
Some blood vessel definitely hyperaemic (injected): 1
Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
Diffuse beefy red appearance: 3

Chemosis (lids and/or nictating membranes): Grade

No swelling: 0
Any swelling above normal: 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids: 2
Swelling with lids about half-closed: 3
Swelling with lids more than half-closed: 4


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Readings of ocular reactions were made 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after treatment. The eyes were also examined for potential eye lesions at 24 and 72 hours post-administration by means of 1% fluorescein-dilution (1 drop/eye). It was washed out about 60 seconds post administration with sterile, non-pyrogenic, physiological saline.
