Any other information on results incl. tables

Summary:

The treatment led to slight redness. All findings were reversible after 8 days of observation period. The control eyes which were treated with talcum powder did show the same reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The mean score observed for redness of the conjunctivae is 0.167 ( for 24, 48 and 72 hours) which is below 2.5.
These finding were reversible within 48 hours.
