Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctivae (score 1) was observed in 1/3 rabbits at the 1-h reading time point, which persisted until 24 h after installation. The conjunctivae had cleared completely within 48 h. Swelling (score 2) was observed in 1/rabbits at the 1-h reading time point, but cleared completely within 24 h. The iris in 1/3 rabbits showed congestion, swelling and moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia of score 1 at the 24-h reading time point. This effect was totally reversible within 48 h. In 2/3 rabbits the corneas showed scattered or diffuse areas of opacity of score 1 at the 1-h reading time point which was fully reversible within 24 h and 48 h, respevtively. In 1/3 rabbits a score of 2 was obtained for the cornea at the 1-h reading time point, which persisted until 24 h after installation. In this animal, a score of 1 was observed at the 48-h and 72-h reading time point.
