Irritant / corrosive response data:
After 24h the effects on eye caused by the test material generally consisted of slight opacity of the cornea, slight iritis (3/ animals), and moderate redness and slight to severe swelling of conjuctivae. In the course of 7–day observation period some of these eye effects recovered partly or completely.
However, after 7 days slight of moderate to severe corneal opacity and vascularization on the cornea were observed in 4/6 rabbits, ulcus cornea in 2/6 animals, slight iritis in 3/6 rabbits and slight lesions of the conjuctivae in all six animals.
