Fig. 1. Examples of slit-lamp photography for stellate iris grading.
Stellate pattern of the iris is defined as “raised trabeculae extending from the usual stroma of the iris accompanied by absence or displacement of the iris collarette”. A Grade 0, indicating normal iris without stellate pattern. B Grade I stellate iris, (0 < stellate pattern diameter <½ total iris diameter), defined as stellate pattern diameter less than half of the iris diameter. C Grade II stellate iris, (½ total iris diameter ≤ stellate pattern diameter < total iris diameter), defined as the diameter of stellate pattern more than half of the iris diameter but less than the total iris diameter. D Grade III stellate iris, (stellate pattern diameter = total iris diameter), defined as the extent of stellate pattern involving the total of iris.
