Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after instillation of the test substance, 6/6 rabbits had obvious swelling (chemosis score 2) and 1/6 rabbits had some conjunctivae (score 1). At the 24-hour reading time point, chemosis (score 1-2) was observed in 6/6 animals. The chemosis gradually reduced in severity, persisting in 4/6 at the 48-hour reading time point, in 3/6 at the 72-hour reading time point, and in 1/6 until 4 days after instillation. No conjunctivae was observed in any animal from 24 hours after instillation. No irritation effects were seen on the iris and cornea in any animal at any reading time point. Only mean values were given for Day 7, and it is therefore not possible to determine if the irritation effects had cleared by Day 7.
