Any other information on results incl. tables

The application of the test substance caused after 10 minutes severe corrosion predominantly expressed by severe corneal opacity. Therefor a precise evaluation of erythema, chemosis and iritis scores was not possible. Due to severe effects the test was terminated after 72 h. Severe corneal opacity is considered to be an irreversible effect to ophthalmic tissue.
