AVERAGE SCORE (24+48+72 hour)
- Cornea: 0
- Iris: 0
- Conjunctivae (Redness): Individual scores 5 rabbits 0, 1 rabbit 0.7  (group mean score (0.11)

DESCRIPTION OF LESIONS: Conjunctival redness (mostly grade 1, 1 animal  grade 2) was observed in all eyes and chemosis in 5/6 (one grade 2, 4  grade 1) eyes 1 hour after instillation.
REVERSIBILITY: All eyes scored 0 by day 7. Chemosis persisted in 3  animals to 72 hours.
Other effects:
None reported.
