Scoring criteria used for evaluation of corneal lesion size and corneal neovascularization.

SLE scoring system for corneal lesion size
SLE score 0.0–0.5 SLE score 0.6–0.9 SLE score 1.0–1.9 SLE score 2.0–2.9 SLE score 3.0–3.5 SLE score 3.6–4.0
Corneal Lesion Scoring Normal or nonspecific corneal lesions, random superficial lesion Punctate ulcerations One or more dendritic ulcerations; Dendritic lesions involving <50% of cornea Dendritic lesions involving >50% of the cornea Geographic ulcerations of trophic erosion involving less than 50% of the cornea Geographic ulcerations of trophic erosion involving more than 50% of the cornea
Grading of Corneal Neovascularization
Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3
Corneal Neovascularization No blood vessels visible <25% of the corneal surface covered with developing network of blood vessels 26–75% of the corneal surface covered with developing network of blood vessels >75% of the corneal surface with developed network of blood vessels
