Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was observed. A diffuse, crimson colouration of die conjunctivae with slight swelling and above normal discharge to discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to the lids was observed in all animals. These reactions had resolved in all instances by one or two days after instillation.
