Reversibility:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1-hour reading time point, 4/6 animals showed conjunctivae (score 2), which disappeared after 24 h in 1/4 animals and was attenuated (score 1) in 3/4 animals. In 2/4 animals slight conjunctivae (score 1) was observed at the 1-hour reading time point, which remained stable until 24 h in one of the 2 animals and was augmented (score 2) in the other animal. The effects had cleared completely within 48 h.
At the 1-hour reading time point, 2/6 animals showed slight swelling (chemosis), which was reversed after 24 h in one and after 48 h in the other animal.
No further eye irritation effects (opacity or effect on iris) were observed in any rabbit at any time point.
