    The problems of Draize Test

    ● It is CRUELTY !!
    ● Differences between rabbit eye and the human eyes
    ● No appropriate evaluation criteria to determine the outcome of the
    same chemical.
    Solutions & Alternatives Methods

    ➢ Human hemoglobin denaturation as an alternative to the Draize test


    ➢ Using small discs of human skin cells grown in laboratories
    Still testing… ( In 2009)
    ➢ Since 2000 OECD had validated alternative tests for corrosivity,
    meaning acids, bases and other corrosive substances are no longer
    required to be Draize tested on animals.

    2. Educate others
