SCORING SYSTEM:
ACCORDING TO OECD GUIDELINE 405 (ADOPTED FEB 24, 1987) AND EEC L 251, B.5 (SEPT 19, 1984):

CORNEA
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense taken for reading):
0 = no ulceration or opacity
1 = Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible
2 = easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 = Nacrous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 = Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity

Area of cornea involved (AR):
1 = >0; >= 1/4
2 = >1/4; <1/2
3 = >1/2; <3/4
4 = >3/4

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

CONJUNCTIVAE
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbarconjunctivae, cornea and iris):
0 = Blood vessels normal
1 = Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 = Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 = Diffuse beefy red

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