Irritant / corrosive response data:
The TS was found to cause a minimal irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. Irritation was fully reversible within 72 hours. When the application site was rinsed, no irritation was found.
Other effects:
During the whole observation period parts of the cornea and sclera were reddish stained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this experiment the test material was found to cause a minimal irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa and no irritation when the application site was rinsed. Taken together, the test material is considered to be not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

The test item contained 89% active ingredient and 10% urea. Three male and female New Zealand rabbits were treated with 0.1 g by insertion into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The lids were gently closed for a few seconds. In three of the rabbits, the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of physiological saline after ca. 30 seconds. The eye irritation was assessed after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days. Only in non-rinsed eyes, redness, chemosis and discharge were observed on the first and second day. These findings were no longer noted on the third day. During the whole observation period, parts of the cornea and sclera were reddish stained.
