On the day of administration slight to severe reddening and moderate to severe swelling of the conjunctivae were observed in all animals. Afterwards slight to moderate reddening of the conjunctivae was noted up to day 4 or 7 and slight swelling was seen until day 2, 3, or 6. All animals were without findings on day 8.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The single administration of Hydroxyestradienon into the right eye of male and female rabbits with a volume of 0.1 ml/eye (corresponding to 52.9 -64.9 mg) results in slight to severe reddening and moderate to severe swelling of the conjunctivae in all animals on administration day. Afterwards slight to moderate conjunctival reddening was noted up to day 4 or 7 and slight swelling was seen until day 2, 3, or 6. All animals were without findings on day 8.

According to the system of evaluation recommended for EU, the mean values of findings relevant for classification at the time-points 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration were 0 for the cornea, iris, 0.6 for conjuntival swelling and 1.1 for conjunctival reddening. Therefore, according to EU classification criteria the test substance is not eye irritating.
