- Age at study initiation: 11 - 17 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.36 - 2.46 kg
- Housing: singly in steel cages with perforated plate floors above litter-filled dung troughs
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Ssniff K complete rabbit diet (Ssniff Versuchstier-Diäten GmbH, Soest, Germany), ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): drinking water, ad libitum

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The untreated eye of the animals served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL; test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. Then, the eye was held closed by gently pressing both eye lids together for about 1 - 2 seconds.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single exposure
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): following application no further treatment of the eye

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize; grading scale (additional parameters included: discharge of conjunctiva and area of cornea involved) and scoring different from OECD TG 405

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: the eyes of test animals were examined after application of 2% fluorescein solution

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Only a slight irritating effect (conjunctivae redness score 1) was observed in all test animals at 1 hour after test substance administration. At 24 hours, this finding had subsided and was not seen any more. Scores for all eye irritation parameters were 0 starting from 24 hours onwards. Observation ended at 72 hours.
