Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal opacity, iritis or chemosis were observed in any animal at any reading time point.
1 h post-instillation: slight or moderate conjunctval redness was observed in 2/6 and 4/6 animals respectively. Slight or moderate chemosis was observed in 4/6 and 1/6 animals, respectively. Slight discharge was observed in 4/6 animals.
24 h post-instillation: slight conjunctival redness was observed in 2/6 animals, the effect being fully reversible within the following 24 h.
48-72 h post-instillation: no conjunctival redness was observed in any animal.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were reported.
