Other effects:
- Lesions and clinical observations: No other than ocular lesions were noted. All lesions were reversible within 48 hours p.a.
- Ophthalmoscopic findings: Cornea and Irises: Not affected
Conjunctivae, redness: In all animals, some injected blood vessels were observed from 1 h onwards until a maximum of 24 hours p.a.
Conjunctivae, chemosis: Very slight swelling was seen in all animals 1 h p.a.
