Objective

The objective of the present study was to investigate the eye irritation potential of the test item in rabbits.

Study design

The test item was applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of rabbits, the untreated right eye served as control. The degree of eye irritation was evaluated by scoring lesions of conjunctiva, cornea and iris at specific intervals. The first examinations of the eyes followed 1 and 6 hours after treatment. Subsequently, the eyes were investigated twice daily for a further 3 days. In addition, potential systemic effects and the body weight development was determined.The study was performed initially with one animal, followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals.


Results

No mortality occurred during the experimental phase of the study.

The body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous.

No clinical symptoms and no signs of eye irritation were observed.


Conclusion

Under the conditions of the present study, no eye irritation potential was detected for the test item.
