1. 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-3494 is minimally irritating (3.3/110.0) to the eye of the female albino rabbit. Neither corneal opacity nor iritis were produced during the study. Minimal conjunctivitis was noted at the one hour evaluation and subsided by the two day evaluation.
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the acute ocular irritation
properties of T-3494 when instilled into the eye of female albino rabbits. This study is not regulated 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 laboratory's archives.

Method and Results Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand breed-- were used to evaluate
the ocular irritating properties of the test article. The test method was modeled after that of Draize jat al-- .
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.

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 sever days must be ^ 10 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day scor< must be jC 20. If seven day mean score ; <_ 20 but < 60% of animals show scores <10, then no animal among those showin scores > 1 0 can exceed a score of 30 if rating is to be maintained; otherwis raise rating one level.
To maintain this rating, scores by seve days must be ^ 30 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day sco: must be j< 40. If seven day mean score _< 40 but < 60% of the animals show scores _< 30, then no animal among thos showing scores > 30 can exceed a score of 60 if rating is to be maintained; otherwise, raise rating one level.

rooms with food and water offered ad libitum. Each animal will be assigned a numbered ee
which will correspond to a card affixed to the outside of the cage. The test article will be instillei
