Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridal effects were noted during the study.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye and minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in two eyes at the 24 h observation and persisted in one treated eye at the 48 h observation.
One treated eye appeared normal at the 24 h observation, another treated eye appeared normal at the 48 h observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72 h observation.
Other effects:
No bodyweight gain was noted in one animal while two animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
