The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight to important and partially reversible: - at the conjunctivae level: a moderate redness associated with a moderate to important chemosis, noted 1 hour after the test item instillation. The redness was totally reversible in two animals between day 8 and day 9 and remained in the last one on day 21 (last day of the test, slight intensity). The chemosis was totally reversible between day 7 and day 10, - at the corneal level: a slight corneal opacity, noted 24 hours after the test item instillation in one animal and totally reversible on day 2, - at the iris level: a congestion, noted 24 hours after the test item instillation in one animal and totally reversible on day 2. In one animal, the presence of a white spot on the nictitating membrane was noted on day 2 and was associated with the presence of a white spot on the lower eyelid on day 6. These reactions remained on day 21 (last day of the test). In another animal, the presence of a white spot on the nictitating membrane was noted between day 2 and day 8 and on day 2 on the lower eyelid. This reaction was totally reversible on day 9.
