Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The substance caused only slight irritation to the rabbit eye after instillation of 0.05 ml thiodiglycol.
Executive summary:

Comparable to Guideline study with acceptable restrictions (no GLP study, only 50 µl applied, partly limited documentation, e.g. no details about the test substance or scoring 1 h after instillation)

Thiodiglycol (0.05 ml) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 2 White Vienna rabbits (not rinsed). Effects were scored 24, 48, and 72 hours as well as 6 and 8 days after treatment. The 1st rabbit showed slight conjunctival redness (Draize score 1 at 24 - 72 hours) and moderate (Draize score 2 at 24 hours) to slight (Draize score 1 at 48 hours) conjunctival chemosis, slight corneal opacity (Draize score 1 at 24 hours up to day 6) but no iritis. All effects were reversible at day 8 (study end). In the 2nd rabbit no effects were detected except a slight redness (Draize score 1) 24 and 48 hours after instillation.

Conclusion: The substance caused only slight irritation to the rabbit eye after instillation of 0.05 ml thiodiglycol.
