Score:

0.3

Max. score:

Irritant / corrosive response data:

No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 24 hour observation. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 48 hour observation.

Other effects:

Black/brown coloured staining of the fur was noted around both treated eyes throughout the study. Both animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
