Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1-hour reading time point slight to well-defined conjunctivae (score 1-2) was noted in 3/3 animals, which persisted as slight conjunctivae (score 1) until 24 h after installation. The eye irritation effects had cleared completely within 48 h. All the scores for both rabbits were 0 for corneal and iridial effects. No scoring was performed for chemosis.
