Irritant / corrosive response data:
Irritation was observed only in conjunctival tissue. Conjunctival responses were observed at all treatment levels at 1 h and generally consisted of mild redness. All treatment groups were judged normal at 48 h. The eye irritation caused by the test article was mild and transitory.
