Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight reddening of the conjunctivae were noted in 4 of 6 rabbits within 6 hours of instillation. In three rabbits, the reddening persisted through 24 h, but had cleared by 48 h. According to the study directors, a positive ocular irritation reaction was not observed in any of the rabbits tested. None of the following changes was observed: chemosis, iritis or corneal opacity or denudation.
