- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 male rabbits
- Details on study design:
- According to the guidelines in a preliminary study one animal was treated because of the risk of severe eye injury.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the eyes were thoroughly rinsed with tepid tap water to complete the exposure.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours after instillation
SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize scale
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Prior to the treatment, the eyes were examined by slit lamp microscope (Typ HSO-10; Fa. Carls Zeiss, Oberkochen) for their state of health and were judged to be healthy.

Weak corneal opacities were observed additionally up to 72 hours. All reactions disappeared completely within 14 to 72 hours. All reactions disappeared completely within 14 days.
Two further rabbits: the mild to strong erythema, mild to moderate oedema and mild to strong lacrimation at the other two experimental animals did not disappear within 72 hours. Weak to mild corneal opacities were observed additionally up to 72 hours. All reactions disappear completely within 22 days.
