unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the right eye serves as control
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg of the test substance
Duration of treatment / exposure:
30 seconds
Observation period (in vivo):
up to 10 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males / 3 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: after 30 seconds the compounds was flushed out of three of the rabbits with 200 ml of warm water.

SCORING SYSTEM: The ocular reactions were scored by the method described in "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Food Drugs and Cosmetics"
page 51, published by the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the U.S.A.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein (Fluorets - Smith & Nephew Pharmaceutical Limited) was used as an aid in assessing corneal damage.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctiva:Slight/mild reactions were seen in 3/3 unwashed and 3/3 washed eyes 1 hour after compound application. All the eyes had
improved at 24 hours. At 72 hours 2/3 washed eyes were normal, at 6 days 1/3 washed and 1/3 unwashed eyes were normal. All eyes were normal
at 10 days.

Cornea: Slight opacity with damage to the surface epithelium was seen at 1 hour in 3/3 yashed and 3/3 unwashed eyes. 1/3 washed and 1/3
unwashed eyes were normal at 24 hours, 2/3 washed and 1/3 unwashed eyes were normal at 48 hours. All eyes were normal at 72 hours.

Iris: 2/3 unwashed and 1/3 washed eyes showed increased folding at 24 hours only.

Some of the unwashed eyes showed slightly more severe reactions than those of washed eyes.
