SCORING SYSTEM:
Scale for scoring ocular lesions:
- Chemosis (SW) and Cornea (OP) (Opacity-degree of density):
0 = None
1 = slight
2 = well-defined
3 = severe
4 = very severe

- Conjunctivae redness (RED):
0 = Normal
1 = slight
2 = well-defined
3 = severe

- Iris:
0 = Normal
1 = circum-corneal injection
2 = iritis
