NICEATM, in collaboration with ICCVAM, will
convene an public meeting of an independent scientific peer review panel on
alternative ocular safety testing methods. Topics to be considered by the
Panel include:
- The validation status of a testing strategy that proposes the use of three in vitro test methods to assess eye irritation
potential of antimicrobial cleaning products
- The validation status of four in vitro test methods for identifying moderate and mild irritants and substances not classified as ocular irritants
- The validation status of the in vivo low volume eye test
- A proposal for the routine use of topical anesthetics, systemic analgesics, and humane endpoints to
avoid and minimize pain and distress during in vivo ocular irritation testing
