Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1h reading, the index for corneal opacity, area and Iris could not be read because of severe swelling
At the 24h reading, the index for Iris and area could not be read because of severe swelling
Other effects:
Discharge (score 3) was completely reversible within 14 days
