Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjuctival reactions were observed between 1-6 hours after treatment. They consisted in redness (4/4 animals within the first hour after treatment, 3/4 within 6 hours after treatment) and exudation (4/4 animals within the first hour after treatment). However, these reactions were fully reversible within 24 hours after treatment.
