Conformity of Conjunctival Hyperemia Assessment in Soft Contact Lens Wearers Using Image J Analysis and Efron Degree System

Soft Contact Lens (SCL) use all over the world is still increasing. Ocular surface inflammatory reaction is the most common risk of using SCL. Currently, the standard used to assess this complication is the Efron Degree System (EDS), but it has high variability due its subjectivity. ImageJ gives more objective result with conjunctival vasodilation and vascular density assessment, so that complication management can be given earlier. Purpose: Evaluate the suitability of SDE with ImageJ analysis in assessing conjunctival hyperemia in SCL use within 2 weeks.
