Irritant / corrosive response data:
One animal exhibited moderate conjunctival redness whereas the other 2 animals showed mild conjuctival redness; all three animals exhibited severe discharge. No iridial or corneal changes were evident throughout the study. At 24 h post-treatment, one animal was free of conjuctival redness. All 3 animals were free of ocular irritation within 72 h after treatment.
