SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea
Degree of Opacity 0 – 4 (0 = no finding, 1 = slight, disperse, diffuse opacity, 2 = extensive, diffuse opacity, iris blurred, 3 = mother-of-pearl-like opacity, iris and pupil hardly recognisable, 4 = complete opacity, ulceration)
Iris 0 – 2 (0 = no finding, 1 = swelling, reddening, positive light reaction, 2 = severe reddening and swelling, no light reaction)
Conjunctivae
Redness 0 – 3 (0 = blood vessels normal, 1 = vessels abnormally filled, 2 = diffuse reddening, 3 = diffuse deep reddening)
Chemosis 0 – 4 (0 = no swelling, 1 = slight swelling, 2 =severe swelling, lids everted, 3 = lids cover one half of eye, 4 = lids cover more than half eye, necroses and ulcers on the conjunctivas)


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp / fluorescein
