Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 24-hour observation.
Minimal discharge was observed in all rabbits at the 1 hour-observation.
All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation.
Other effects:
All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
Pain reaction: all rabbits showed a slight initial pain reaction when the test material was instilled.
