Irritant / corrosive response data:
No reactions on iris or cornea were observed which was confirmed after fluorescein treatments.

Slight effects (grade 1) on the conjunctiva (redness) were observed in 3 animals which were fully reversible within 24 - 48 h in all animals (Table 2).
Two animals showed signs of exsudation (score 1 and 2, max. score: 4) 1 h after application which was fully reversible within 6 h.
