The test substance caused serious damage to eyes. All six animals exhibited severe conjunctival irritation (redness, chemosis, discharge, necrosis), corneal opacity, ulceration and iridial damage. All six animals also exhibited pannus (neovascularization of the corneal surface) one or more times between days 7 and 28. On day 7 one animal had an enlarged blood vessel on the anterior surface of the iris. Two animals had a fluid filled blister on the corneal surface on day 21 and/or 28. Three animals were noted to have hair loss around the eye. All six animals continued to exhibit severe irritation at termination of the study (day 28).
