This document provides color coding guidelines for documenting corneal conditions. Black is used to outline structures and indicate scars, thinning, and nerves. Red denotes blood vessels, growths, lacerations, and congestion. Brown is used for pigmentation, rings, and old conditions. Yellow indicates pigmentation, deposits, infiltrates, and cataracts. Green represents defects, filaments and edema. Blue shows overall edema, folds, and blisters. Precise documentation using these color codes allows for standardization, easy follow-up and teaching regarding various corneal pathologies.
Eye colour coding
- 3. Why Draw? • Standardisation of Documentation • Easy to follow-up • Easy to teach • Cheaper
- 7. BLACK • Outlines of cornea,lid and contact lens • Scars (denser shows with light or dark shades) • BSK • Corneal tear • Bitots spot
- 8. BLACK • Corneal thinning • Corneal nerves • Eye lashes • Spheroidal degeneration
- 24. RED • Blood vessels • Papillae’s and follicles • Granuloma’s • Symblepheron, pterygium • Blood • Lacerated area • Congestion • Talengectasia • Rubeosis iridis
- 37. BROWN • Naevus • Pigments on endothelium • Fleisher’s ring • Iris nodules • Iris attachments (PAS) • Old KP’s
- 44. YELLOW • Pinguecula • CL Deposits • Hypopion • Fresh KP’s • Infiltrates • Concretions • Cataract • Tantots spots • Plugged orifices
- 52. GREEN • SPK’s • Epithelial defect • Dellen • Filaments
