Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
EEC COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 92/69/EEC, JULY 31,1992
Grading of Ocular Lesions CORNEA
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
No ulceration or opacity: 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal luster), details of iris clearly visible: 1
Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured: 2
Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible: 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity: 4

IRIS
Normal: 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperemia, or injection, any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive): 1
No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these): 2

CONJUNCTIVAE
Redness (refers to most severe reading of palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae when compared with control eye)
Blood vessels normal: 0
Some blood vessels definitely hyperemic (injected): 1
Diffuse, crimson color, individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
Diffuse beefy red: 3

Chemosis: lids and/or nictitating membranes
No swelling: 0
Any swelling above normal (including nictitating membranes): 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids: 2
Swelling with lids about half-closed: 3
Swelling with lids more than half-closed: 4
