Abstrakt: A biomicroscopic method for evaluation of ocular and adnexal toxicity in the white rabbit has been developed. When compared to the Draize method, the biomicroscopic method demonstrates a greater spectrum of clinical signs allowing for better dose-response characteristics. This method was found to be both reproducible and easy to execute. The biomicroscopic method, by defining discrete anatomical entities, allows for a high degree of predictability as to severity of ocular and adnexal toxicity as well as the occurrence of permanent ocular injury.
