Figure 1. Microphotographs of typical
clinical features after 15 instillations of different prostaglandins
and Draize test evaluation at 4 h. Microphotographs of typical clinical
features of instilled rabbit eyes at H4 for BAC+latanoprost-
(A), BAC+travoprost- (B), BAC+bimatoprost-
(C), PBS- (D), and latanoprost in cationic emulsion
(LCEm)-treated groups (E). BAC+Latanoprost and BAC+travoprost
induced diffuse hyperemia, chemosis, and purulent secretions on the
ocular surface. BAC+Bimatoprost also induced mild
conjunctiva hyperemia. LCEm-receiving eyes only presented slight
hyperemia. Bar chart of ocular irritation evaluations using a modified
Draize test scale (F) at H4 and D1. The asterisk indicates a
p<0.0001 compared with the BAC+latanoprost-instilled
group. The double asterisk indicates a p<0.01 compared with the BAC+latanoprost-instilled
group, and the sharp (hash mark) indicates a p<0.001 compared with
the BAC+travoprost-instilled group.
