Irritant / corrosive response data:
Exposure to the test article produced iritis in 5/6 test eyes at the 1 hour scoring interval. The iridal irritation resolved completely in all animals at the 24 hour scoring interval. Conjunctivitis (redness, swelling and discharge) was noted in 6/6 test eyes at the 1 hour scoring interval. The conjunctival irritation diminished during the remainder of the testperiod and resolved completely in all animals by study day 10. No corneal opacity, iritis or conjunctivitis was observed in the control eyes.
