Irritant / corrosive response data:
Within the first 1, 2 and 8 h post-instillation, no corneal opacity and no iritis were observed. At this time points, slight to moderate conjunctival redness and moderate to strong chemosis and discharge were seen in all animals.
Corneal opacity was observed in 2/6 animals and was fully reversible within 48 h and 72 h, respectively.
No effects on the iris were observed in any animal at any time point.
Slight to moderate conjunctival redness was observed in all animals 24 h post-instillation. Effects were fully reversible within 48 h (2 animals), 72 h (1 animal) or 5 days (3 animals).
Slight to strong discharge was observed in all animals 24 h post-instillation. Effects were fully reversible within 72 h (5 animals) or 4 days (1 animal).
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were reported.
