Irritant / corrosive response data:
The irritation index is 0.
Other effects:
There were no systemic toxic effects after conjunctival application of the test substance. The general condition of the animals was undisturbed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the cornea and iris of all three animals no alterations were detected during the observation period.

The conjunctiva of one animal reacted with hyperemia (grade 1) only at the application day. In the two other animals no changes were observed.
