Irritant / corrosive response data:
Except for a slight redness of the conjunctiva that was seen in each treated eye after 1 hour and a single case of discharge, no effects were reported. After 24 hours, redness of the conjunctiva only remained in one case and no more discharge was seen. After 72 hours, no adverse occular effects were observed in all animals.
