Irritant / corrosive response data:
Only 1/4 animals showed slight redness of conjunctivae at 1 and 6 h after application which were fully reversible within 24 h. In 3/4 animals exsudation was observed at the 1 h reading time point. No other ocular effects were observed at any timepoint in any tested animal.
