Irritant / corrosive response data:
The cornea and conjunctiva were moderately to severely irritated in all rabbits from one hour till 14 days after treatment. Thereafter the eye of one rabbit recovered, but there was still a slight haze on the cornea, 21 days after treatment. In the two other rabbits the cornea and conjunctiva were still moderately irritated 21 days after treatment.
