Summary The results of the acute ocular irritation test conducted from
January 3, 1984 to January 10, 1984 at Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota indicate that T-3493 is minimally irritating (2.0/110.0) to the eye of the female albino rabbit. Minimal conjunctivitis was noted at the one hour evaluation and subsided by the two day evaluation. Corneal opacity and iritis were not produced during the study.
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the acute ocular irritation
properties of T-3493 when instilled into the eye of female albino rabbits. This study is not regulted by the Food and Drug Administration's Good Laboratory Practice Regulation of 1978, although the standard operating procedures of this laboratory adhere to the general principles of this regulation. The raw data generated by the Study Director and the final report are stored in the conducting laboratory1s archives.

Method and Results a
Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand breed-- were used to evaluate
the ocular irritating properties of the test article. b
modeled after that of Draize ^ t al-- .
The test method was
The test article was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right
eye of each rabbit according to the treatment procedure presented in
Table 1 with the left eye of each animal serving as a control. At each
scoring interval, the cornea, iris and palpebral conjunctiva were examined
and graded for irritation and injury according to a standard scoring
system^. The maximum possible score at any one examination and scoring
period 110 points, which indicates maximal irritation and damage to all
three ocular tissues (cornea, iris, conjunctiva) while a score of zero
indicates no irritation (Table 2). In this scoring system, special
emphasis is placed upon irritation or damage to the cornea, while less
emphasis is placed upon damage to the iris and conjunctiva.
After completion of the test, the scores were analyzed, and a
descriptive eye irritation rating was assigned to the test article. The
criteria used for assignment of the descriptive rating were the frequency,
the extent and the persistence of irritation or damage which occurred to
the three ocular tissues (Table 3). The individual results are presented
in Table 4.

Cosmetics (1965).

The rating is arrived at by selecting the maximum mean irritation score at one hour, one, two or three days after instillation. If the rate of dissipation of injury does not meet the requirements defined for the descriptive rating appropriate for a particular numerical score, the descriptive rating is raised by one or more levels. The rating system is presented in Table 3. The protocol, principal personnel involved in the study, composition characteristics and Quality Assurance statement are contained in Appendices I - IV.

Definition
To maintain this rating, all scores by the one day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores by the one day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores by the three day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores by the seven day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, scores by seven days must be 10 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day score must be 20. If seven day mean score is
20 but < 60% of animals show scores < 10, then no animal among those showing scores > 10 can exceed a score of 30 if rating is to be maintained; otherwise, raise rating one level.
To maintain this rating, scores by seven days must be 30 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day score must be _< 40. If seven day mean score is jC 40 but < 60% of the animals show scores <_ 30, then no animal among those showing scores > 30 can exceed a score of 60 if rating is to be maintained; otherwise, raise rating one level.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this test will be to determine the irritation potential of the test article to the ocular tissues (cornea, iris and conjunctiva) o f ___ L_... albino rabbits. Rabbits were selected as the test system for their sensitivity to irritants, historical use, ease of handling and general availability.
METHOD:
The animals will be housed in standard wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled
rooms with foo di and water offered ad libitum. Each animal will be assigned a numbered ear tag
which will correspond to a card affixed to the outside of the cage. The test article will be instilled into
the conjunctival sac of the right eye at a dose of __ l____ with the contralateral eye pf each animal
serving as a control. A t ____________:___________ hours a n d ____ ___ __________ :----------days
(additional scoring intervals may be added to further characterize the ocular reactions), the tissues will
be examined and graded for irritation and injury according to a standard scoring system of Draize
ef a/. After completion of the test, the scores will be analyzed, and a descriptive eye irritation rating
assigned to the test article. Eye examinations may be carried out with the aid of sodium fluorescein.
If deemed necessary by the study director, washed eye procedures entailing a 5 and 30 second
contact period with a * } ' f
wash over a '
.. period will be conducted using
3 animals per procedure. All raw data generated by the study director and the final report will be
stored in the Riker Laboratories' Archive, St. Paul, Minnesota.
