Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No abnormal findings in the cornea or iris of any animal at any time.
- A slight to moderate reddening of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals 1 hour after instillation, and persisted up to 48 hours in the male and 72 hour in the females.
- Slight to moderate swelling of the conjunctivae was noted at the 1 hour observation that persisted to 24 hours.
- All animals had slight to moderate reddening of the sclera, 1-48 hours in the male, to 72 hours in the females, and slight to moderate discharge was present 1 to 24 hours after instillation in all animals.
- No abnormal findings were observed in the treated eye of any animal 7 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals.
Other effects:
VIABILITY/MORTALITY
- No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed, and no mortality occurred during the study.

COLORATION
- No staining of the treated eyes by the test item was observed.

CORROSION
- No corrosion of the cornea was noted at any of the observation times.

BODY WEIGHTS
- The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.
