Irritant / corrosive response data:
Animal #1 and #2 showed a cornea opacity score of 2 at the 1-, 24-, 48- and 72-h reading time point, which increased at the 7-day reading time point (score of 3). Animal #3 showed a cornea opacity score of 1 at all reading time points. The iris score was 1 and the conjunctivae score was 2 for all 3 rabbits at all reading time points. A slight swelling (chemosis score of 1) was determined in rabbit #1 at the 1-h and 7-day reading time point, which enhanced to a distinct swelling (score of 2) at the 24-, 48- and 72-h reading time point. A slight swelling was also observed at the 1-h reading time point in rabbit #2, which resulted in a distinct swelling (score of 2) at the 24- and 48-h reading time point in a score of 3 at the 72-h reading time point. This effect was not reversible within 7 days (score 2). Rabbit #3 showed a chemosis score of 1 at all reading time points.
The mucous membrane of the third eyelid of the animals was necrotized from the first evaluation. At the 7-day reading time point, 1/3 rabbits had a corneal pannus and hair loss at the upper and lower margin of the eyelid, respectively.
