Details on study design:
PREPARATION:
- Both eyes of the animal(s) were examined before application of the test material for signs of pre-existing irritation, reaction or abnormality which would prevent it from being used in the study.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: rinsed with tap water
- Time after start of exposure: about 24 h after application (before 24 h reading)

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scale of scoring

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp / biomicroscope / fluorescein - no data
