SCORING SYSTEM:
According to Draize scores were calculated with the individual grades on cornea, iris, and conjunctiva recorded at examination times 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The irritation index is given by the sum of scores.
A corresponding gradation was allocated to this index by the following scheme.

Index Ranges Gradation
0 - 10 non-irritant
11 - 25 slightly irritant
26 - 56 moderatly irritant
57 - 110 severely irritant

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Cliptrix pencil light

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Glycyl-L-glutamine is not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

Only 1 animal showed a score of 1 for conjunctivae redness at 48 hours which was no longer evident at 72 hours. Therefore Glycyl-L-glutamine is considered to be not irritating to the eye.
