CCLRU Grading Scales
The CCLRU Grading Scales poster provides practitioners and students with photographs and gradings of a range of conditions which may occur during contact lens wear. This assists the practitioner in judging the severity of an eye condition, which is often the first step to the correct treatment. The poster is the culmination of many years research by CCLRU in developing grading systems to assess new contact lens products and their effects on the eye.
The poster was sponsored by Vistakon, a division of Johnson and Johnson, to provide copies of the poster to practitioners and students worldwide in a number of languages.
The Grading Scales Poster has been endorsed by the International Association of Contact Lens Educators as an invaluable aid to contact lens practitioners and students in assessing the eye during contact lens wear. For a copy of the poster,email Kylie Evans |

CCLRU/LVPEI Guide to Corneal Infiltrative Conditions
The CCLRU/LVPEI Guide to Corneal Infiltrative Conditions Seen in Contact Lens Practice, sponsored by CIBA Vision, grew out of research into contact lens related inflammation over the last 10 years at CCLRU and LVPEI. Input was also obtained from key contact lens researchers from around the world. The Guide covers a range of conditions, including microbial keratitis, contact lens-induced peripheral ulcer, contact lens-induced acute red eye, infiltrative keratitis, viral keratoconjunctivitis, superior epithelial arcuate lesions, asymptomatic infiltrative keratitis, and asymptomatic infiltrates. Each condition is described and pictured, and information for each includes the severity rating, incidence, symptoms, signs, aetiology, risk factors, and course and management.
The Guide is available to contact lens practitioners throughout the world, to provide a reference for their practices and assist in the treatment of patients. The Guide is available in English, Spanish, French and German. For a copy of the Guide,email Kylie Evans
