Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate redness of conjunctivae occurred in all three tested animals, which was fully reversible within 72 h. At the 1 h reading time point, slight chemosis was observed in all animals, and persisted in 2 of 3 tested animals up to 24 h after test substance instillation. However, chemosis was fully reversible within 48 h in all animals.
Other effects:
During the 72-h observation period, no clinical signs of toxicity were noted in the treated animals.
