Any other information on results incl. tables

Slight conjunctival redness (grade 1) was noted in two out of three animals 1 hour after application and persisted until hour 48 in these animals. The third animal showed obvious conjunctival redness (grade 2) 1 hour after application, which decreased to slight conjunctival redness at hour 24 and 48.

Slight conjunctival chemosis (grade 1) was noted in one out of three animals 24 hours after application only.

Slight discharge (grade 1) was noted in all animals 1 hour after application and persisted in one animal up to 24 hours after application.

 

Additional findings like injected scleral vessels in a circumscribed area were noted in all animals at hour 1 after application and persisted in one animal each until 24 or 48, respectively.

 

The ocular reactions were reversible in all animals within 72 hours after application.

 

Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for corneal opacity, 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for iris lesions, 0.7, 0.7 and 0.7 for redness of the conjunctiva and 0.3, 0.0 and 0.0 for chemosis.
