Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate redness and swelling of the conjunctivae associated with slight ocular secretion were observed in all animals 1 h after instillation. Slight redness and swelling were seen in all animals at 24 h post application. Slight redness was apparent in one animal up to 48 h after instillation. In two of three animals vascular injection on the eyeball was observed at 1 h after instillation.
