Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application and in weekly intervals until study day 21
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 animals
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The treated eye of the animal(s) was rinsed with 3 to 6 ml of hand warm tap water for 1 to 2 minutes using a syringe with a blunt probe
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours after application

SCORING SYSTEM: For evaluation mean values of corneal opacity, iris, conjunctival redness and chemosis for readings 24, 48 and 72 hours were calculated. Additionally, the reversibility of the observed findings was evaluated . (For more details: see section "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables")

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: slit and otoscope lamp, additionally fluorescein (24 h after application)

Other effects:
- Lesions and clinical observations: No corneal and iris lesions were noted in any animal at any examination timepoint. Slight conjunctival redness, slight or moderate conjunctival chemosis (grade 1 or 2) and initially (at the one hour reading) obvious or severe discharge were observed in the animals during the course of the study. Additional findings like incrustations (circular, upper or lower lid, marginal or severe degree), scaling (lower lid), small retraction in the eyelid, loss of hair (circular, upper or lower lid) and injected scleral vessels in a circumscribed or circular area were noted in the animals during the observation period.
The ocular reactions were reversible in all animals within 21 days after application.
