Details on study design:

SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
The eyes were used within 24 hours from slaughter. Eyes were examined prior to use. Corneas from eyes free of visible defects were used. Corneas that have opacity lesser than seven opacity units or equivalent for the opacitometer were used in the study.

Corneas, free from defects, were dissected to a 2 to 3 mm rim and were transferred to container containing Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution containing antibiotics [e.g., penicillin at 100 IU/mL and streptomycin at 100 μg/mL].

Selected corneas were mounted on the corneal holders with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was then placed on the top of the cornea and fixed in place. Both chambers were then filled to excess with pre-warmed phenol red free Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) (posterior chamber first to return the cornea to its natural concave position), ensuring no bubbles were present within the holders. The device was then equilibrated at 32 ± 1°C for at least one hour to allow the corneas to equilibrate with the medium and to achieve normal metabolic activity, to the extent possible. Following the equilibration period, the medium was removed from both the chambers and fresh pre-warmed phenol red free EMEM was added to both chambers and baseline opacity readings were taken for each cornea.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
At the end of exposure period, the test item, positive control and negative control were removed from their respective anterior chamber and the corneal epithelium washed until no visual evidence of test item, positive control or negative control was observed using EMEM (containing phenol red).

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: light transmission
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of [UV/VIS spectrophotometry

Conclusions:
