Eye irritation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions, study well documented; significance limited due to substance-induced coloration of the eye, which didn't allow correct reading of all eye reactions; observed eye reactions could be caused by other components of the product (acetic acid).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Opacitiy of the cornea, iritis and redness of the conjunctivae could not be detected due to substance-induced coloration. The individual mean score for conjunctivae swelling was 2.7 in 3 animals and 4.0 in 3 animals, respectively. After 24 and 48h, slightly increased discharge, after 72 h discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye was observed in all animals. Lymphoma was observed in 4 of 6 rabbits 72 h after the beginning of the study. After 8 days very severe edema, severe suppuration, bloody crusts and lymphoma were observed. Opacitiy of the cornea, iritis and redness of the conjunctivae could not be detected due to substance-induced coloration.
