SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: slit lamp / fluorescein
A dose of 0.1 mL 3,4-dichlorobut-1-ene was administered into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lid was then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of test material.
The left eye, which remained untreated, served as control.
After the administration the animals were kept separately in special restrainers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn, wiping of the eyes by the paws and excluded irritation of the eyes by excrements and urine.
EXAMINATION OF THE EYES: the eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp prior to the administration and also 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration. The eye reactions were observed and registered.
24 hours after administration the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein and examined.
Based on the most recent guidelines the eye reactions were monitored until the changes observed had completely subsided, however for not more than 21 days after application. Animals that do not reveal any lesions anymore for 24 hours following the first 72 hours of observation were sacrificed.
GENERAL CRITERIA: body weight of all animals was measured at the beginning of the study.

Bayer (1999)
Acute eye irritation was conducted by instillation of the 0.1 mL 3,4-dichlorobut-1-ene into the conjuctival sac of rabbits (OECD guideline 405; EC guideline B.5).
The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the administration with a slit lamp. 24 hours after administration the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein and examined. The eye reactions were observed and scored with Draize score system.
Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in animal no. 3 1 to 48 hours after instillation. The fluorescein test performed after 24 hours revealed corneal staining in animal no. 3 (1/4 of the corneal surface). An irritation of the iris (grade 1) was observed in animal no. 3 1 to 48 hours after instillation.
Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in all three animals 1 hour after instillation. There were no systemic intolerance reactions. All the effects were reversible within 72 hours.
Based on the test results 3,4-dichlorobut-1-ene is not irritating to eyes, and therefore is not be classified according to DSD and CLP criteria.
