Summary The results of the acute ocular irritation test conducted from
July 23, 1984 to July 30, 1984 at Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota indicate that T-3608 is minimally irritating (10.3/110.0) to the eye of the female albino rabbit. Slight conjunctivitis was noted at the one hour evaluation and subsided by the three day evaluation. Neither corneal opacity nor iritis were noted during the seven day test period.
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the acute ocular irritation
properties of T-3608 when instilled into the eye of female albino rabbits. This study was conducted for research and development purposes and is, therefore, not regulated by the Ptx>d and Drug Administrations'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 laboratory's archives.

Method and Results
Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand breea were used to evaluate
the ocular irritating properties of the test article. b
modeled after that of Draize et alz--.
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 b 0 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
thp three ocular tissues (Table 3). The individual results are presented
in Table 4.

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.
.I Tb 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 sieven day mean score is < 20 but7-< 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.
