Irritant / corrosive response data:
Generally slight diffuse opacity of the cornea was observed in all animals within 1 hour to 72 hours or 14 days after test article treatment. In addition blood vessels on the sclera were visible within 1 hour to 7 or 21 days after treatment.
No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the measuring intervals.
Other effects:
A slight yellowish staining of the lidhairs of the treated eyes by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed (at 1 hour reading).
No acute clinical symptoms were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred up to 21 days.
