Remarks:
Conjunctival redness individual mean scores remained below 2 (GHS threshold for classification)
Conclusions:
Not an eye irritant based on in vivo testing
Executive summary:

Disodium caprylo amphodiacetate, as Mackam 2CY-75, 15% solids, was tested for its eye irritation potential in New-Zealand White rabbits. The test article was insitllated as such at a dose of 0.1 mL in one eye of each of 6 rabbits, the contralateral eye serving as an untreated control. The treated eyes were graded for indications of irritation (cornea, iris, conjunctival redness and conjunctival chemosis) using the Draize Scoring System at 24, 48 and 72 hours after sample instillation.

No significant ocular reactions occurred over the observation period, except slight conjunctival redness at 24h in 3 out of 6 rabbits with full reversibility.

Under the conditions of the experiment, disodium caprylo amphoacetate, as Mackam 2CY-75, 15% solids, was not irritating to the eyes.
