Eye Irritation Testing

The outer layer of the cornea is composed of epithelial tissue, which acts as a barrier to protect the cornea and the eyes. Although there are no blood vessels in the cornea, it is innervated. Compared with skin damage, eye damage has a greater impact on quality of life, so it is necessary to perform irritation test on cosmetics and personal care products used in the eye area or in the area around the eye. The most common safety issue related to eye care products and eye makeup is microbial contamination, which is an important reason for the recall of commercially available products.

In addition, products that are not specifically made for eyes may also enter consumers' eyes and cause damage. For example, consumers may apply a product such as lotion to their face or body by hand, and then they may touch the eye area before washing their hands. For manufacturers, it is very necessary to understand how the product affects consumers' eyes and to make warning labels appropriately. Currently, many independent laboratories can provide manufacturers with such experiments that focus on testing a compound or combination of compounds on eye irritation, which is a chemical, non-bacterial-related reaction. In short, the eye is an organ that differs from skin in terms of permeability, biology, and overall function. Therefore, a dedicated and additional protocol should be used to test for eye irritation.

Similar to the skin irritation test, the eye irritation test uses a three-dimensional model of eye tissue to determine the eye irritation that the product or potential ingredients may cause when consumers use the product. The 3D model we used in this test is very similar in many respects to the corneal mucosa of the human eye in morphology, thickness, and ocular secretions. Therefore, this in vitro model is an excellent alternative for in vivo eye irritation testing, which can help manufacturers accurately and efficiently determine the possibility of eye irritation.
