Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Application of the test sample into the eye caused a slight initial pain reaction (class 2 on a 0-5 scale) in all three rabbits. Immediately

following application, approximately one third of the test sample was di spl aced from the conjunctival sac of two rabbits and approximately one quarter was displaced from the conjunctival sac of the remaining rabbit.

There were no corneal or iridial effects in any animal. Conjunctival irritation, including redness, chemosis and discharge, was observed in all three animals and persisted for up to four days after application, in two animals. All signs of irritation had disappeared seven days after application.

Additional observations made during the study were red staining of the periorbital area of the eye by the test substance (two animals). In addition, one animal had convoluted eyelids. All additional signs of irritation had disappeared by Day 7.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: modified form of the Kay and Calandra system
Conclusions:
In conclusion, substance was classed as a mild irritant (class 4 on a 1-8 scale based on a modified form of the Kay and Calandra system) to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

mild irritant
