Any other information on results incl. tables

One animal was not considered in the results/scores presented above (results of 6 animals presented instead of 7) as the animal was not treated as the rest of the animals (pre test). The treated eye of this animal was washed, in opposite to the other treated eyes of the other animals. No irritation/ corrosion effects were observed in the washed eye of this animal.
