 Classification criteria used for anterior chamber cellular reaction,9 hyphaema,9 and corneal oedema10

*The intensity of cellular reaction in the anterior chamber is graded according to the number of inflammatory cells seen in a 1×3 mm high powered beam at full intensity at a 45°–60°angle.
Anterior chamber cellular reaction and hyphaema*
0: no cell
Trace: <5 cell
1+: 5–10 cells
2+: 10–20 cells
3+:: 20–30 cells
4+: cells too numerous to count
Corneal oedema
1+: folds in descemet membrane
2+: stromal oedema in a ground glass appearance
3+: microcyctic epithelial oedema or subepithelial bullae
