Irritant / corrosive response data:
No adverse corneal or iridial effects were noted in the treated eyes during the study. Minimal conjunctivial redness was noted in two treated eyes 1 h after treatment. Residual test substance was noted around the treated eyes of all animals 1 h after treatment. All eyes appeared normal within 24 h.
