Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight to moderate conjunctival reactions were observed in all animals from day 1: a very slight to moderate chemosis (grade 1 to 3), a very slight to moderate redness of the conjunctiva (grades 1 to 3). The reactions persisted up to the end of the observation period (day 21).
A slight iritis (grade 1) was noted in all animals on day 2, it persisted up to day 5 or 8.
A very slight or slight corneal opacity (grades 1 to 2) was recorded in all animals from day 2. It persisted up to the end of the observation period (day 21) in two animals.
Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 h were: 3.0, 3.0 and 2.0 for chemosis; 3.0, 2.0 and 2.0 for redness of the conjunctiva; 1.0, 1.0 and 1.0 for iris lesions and 1.0, 2.0 and 2.0 for corneal opacity.
Other effects:
A whitish purulent discharge was observed in all animals.
Furthermore, a whitish coloration of the conjunctiva was recorded in two animals.
Alopecia around the eye and neovascularisation were noted in all animals.
All these further effects were not reversible, except the whitish coloration of the conjunctiva in one animal.
