Conjunctival injection was examined, papillae formation in the palpebral conjunctiva was evaluated, and corneal fluorescein score, itchy sensation in end-point itching scale, and serum allergic

The Efron Grading Scale was developed by Professor Nathan Efron in the 1980s as a standardized method for grading contact lens complications. In ophthalmology, the Efron Grading Scale is used to assess and monitor contact lens-related complications, such as corneal staining and papillary conjunctivitis.

Corneal staining could be graded less reliably than conjunctival redness and papillary conjunctivitis. Grading reliability was generally unaffected by the severity of the condition being assessed. Notwithstanding the above differences, all four grading systems are validated for clinical use and practitioners can initially expect to use these

grading scales should be to the nearest 0.1 scale units and that a change in grading scale units of more than one is clinically meaningful.7 The Allansmith MR, Korb DR, Greiner JV et al.

A change of one grade or more at follow up visits is considered clinically significant. PALPEBRAL CONJUNCTIVAL GRADES The palpebral conjunctiva is divided into five areas to grade redness and roughness. Areas 1, 2 and 3 are most relevant in contact lens wear.
