Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctivae with opacification, and blood vessel encroachment of the cornea, were observed throughout the 21-day observation period. The iris was unscorable due to the density of the opacity. The compound was regarded as severely eye damaging on the basis of the duration of the ocular effects.
