Any other information on results incl. tables

The report states that corneal opacity (involving up to 25% of the cornea) was noted in one rabbit and iritis in another 1 hr post-instillation however the rapid reversibility of these responses (both fully resolved by 24 hr) suggests possible over-interpretation. Conjunctival redness was also noted in 5 rabbits with conjunctival chemosis in one, however responses again cleared within 24 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Conclusions:
Slight eye irritation effects were present 1 hour after instillation but had resolved within 24 hours.
