Any other information on results incl. tables

The test material produced minimal ocular irritation in 3/3 rabbits. Mild inflammation of the conjunctivae, with or without slight swelling was seen in all three rabbits at the one hour reading. The reactions had ameliorated in one rabbit by the 24 h reading and in the remaining 2 rabbits by the 48 h observation.
