Irritant / corrosive response data:
No abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the measurement intervals. Slight reddening of the conjuctivae was observed in all animals at the 1-hour examination. Slight swelling at the conjuctivae was observed in all animals at 1-hour examination. Slight reddening of the sclerae was present in all animals at 1-hour post instillation. Slight ocular discharge was noted in all animals at the 1-hour examination. All finding were fully reversible within 24 hours after treatment.
Other effects:
- Lesions and clinical observations: All finding were fully reversible within 24 hours.
- Ophthalmoscopic findings: Slight reddening of the conjuctivae, slight swelling at the conjuctivae
- Histopathological findings: Not examined
- Effects of rinsing or washing: No washing performed
