Irritant / corrosive response data:
Dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was noted in one treated eye 1 h after treatment. Scattered or diffuse areas of corneal opacity were noted in two treated eyes 24 h after treatment. Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes 1 and 24 h after treatment. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes 1, 24 and 48 h after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted 72 h after treatment. Moderate to minimal swelling (chemosis) was found at the 1, 24 and 48 h reading in all animals.
