- Diet: Standard laboratory rabbit diet, ad libitum
- Water: Tap water, ad libitum

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The other untreated eye
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
7 days
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
Details on study design:
The eyes of the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to testing and only those animals without observable eye defects were used. 0.1 g of the undiluted test material was allowed to fall on the everted lower lid of one eye of each rabbit; the upper and lower lid were then carefully closed and subsequently held together for about 1 second. The eyes were not washed out following administration. Ocular reactions were judged using the scoring scale from OECD guideline 405. Eye effects were examined 1 hour, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
After one hour the eye effects observed in all three rabbits consisted of moderate redness and swelling of the conjunctivae. During the 7-day observation period these eye effects cleared partly or completely. After 7 days, only slight redness of the conjunctivae was observed in 2 out of 3 rabbits. On the basis of observations in earlier experiments with comparable effects it is expected that these effects are fully reversible.
