Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material produced mild conjunctival redness (score of 1) and chemosis (score of 1) in one animal at the 24 hour reading and these symptoms were not reduced by the end of the observation period at 72 hours. Discharge (score of 1) was also observed in this animal at the 48 and 72 hour readings. Minor conjunctival redness (score of 1) was observed in four other animals at the 24 hour reading only. No signs of irritation were observed in one animal. The table below summarizes the results for each animal.
Other effects:
No lesions were observed.
