TVCI Eye Grading Scales

This free and useful Grading app from THE VISION CARE INSTITUTE® in the India is a digital and optimized version of a hardcopy version based on Professor Nathan Efron’s Grading Scale. It was developed to improve patient care through enhanced clinical precision.

The Grading app goes beyond the 5-point scale of the hardcopy grading scales and enables Eye Care Professionals to record the severity of each patient’s condition in 0.1 increments.

The app enables Eye Care Professionals to:
•Evaluate nine common ocular presentations: bulbar redness, corneal staining, lid redness, lid roughness, limbal redness, meibomian gland dysfunction, pterygium, pinguecula and cortical cataract.
•Grade severity levels by scrolling a real-time animation based on touch.
•Evaluate the clinical change of an ocular presentation by comparing levels in 0.1 increments side-by-side.
•Demonstrate clinical assessment to patients.
•Export a report for practice records without collecting personal data.
•View a comprehensive assessment guide including slit lamp illumination techniques, corneal inflammation vs. infection, signs of oxygen deficiency, staining and lid assessments and more.

This app is offered as an educational tool that Eye Care Professionals may choose to use as part of their patient evaluations. The app is not intended as, and does not constitute medical or optometric advice.
