Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate effects on the conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) and slight effects on the iris (congestion) were observed in all animals 1 h after test substance instillation. In a single animal, effects on the iris persisted up to 48 h and reversed thereafter. No effects on cornea were observed in any animal tested.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were observed.
