CHEMOSIS AND CORNEA OPACITY- DEGREE OF DENSITY:
0= NONE
1 = SLIGHT
2 = WELL-DEFINED
3 = SEVERE
4 = VERY SEVERE

Cornea area:
1 = >0; < ¼
2 = ≥ ¼; < ½;
3 = ≥ ½; < ¾;
4 = ≥ ¾;

IRIS:
1 = CIRCUM-CORNEAL INJECTION
2 = IRITIS


CONJUNCTIVAE REDNESS:
0 = NORMAL
1 = SLIGHT
2 = WELL-DEFINED
3 = SEVERE


DISCHARGE:
0 = NORMAL
1 = SLIGHTLY INCREASED
2 = CLEARLY INCREASED
3 = DISTINCTLY INCREASED
