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

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, German and Italian. For a copy of the Guide,
email Kylie Evans
