Irritant / corrosive response data:
Iridial irritation was reported in all animals on day 1 and was resolved within 24 hours.

Irritation of the conjunctivae was seen as redness, chemosis and discharge, which was completely resolved within 48 hours in one animal and 72 hours in the other test animals.

No corneal opacity was reported.

See tables No. 6 - 7 below for details on individual test animals and mean scores.
Other effects:
No symptoms of systemic toxicity was observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality was observed.
