Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Moderate conjunctival redness (score 2) was noted in all treated animals one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation (score 1) at the 24 h reading time point. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48 h observation.
