Abstract

PURPOSE
This study analyzed the efficacy of Scion Image(R)program, the measurement of area of cornea lesion in the process of corneal diseases. METHODS: Photographs were processed digitally from three corneal wound lesions, and the Adobe Photoshop(R) and Scion Image(R) were used to calculate the area. These measured automatically the area of the damaged corneal lesion in numerical values, allowing precise calculation of the ratio of the wounded area to the entire cornea. RESULTS: In the first case of corneal abrasion by contact lenses, we were able to measure the ratio of the lesion, improving from 45% to 9% after two days of treatment. In the second case of the typical corneal ulcer, the infected area was 23.6% of the cornea before treatment, and decreased to 14.5% after treatment. In the third case of the ring shaped corneal ulcer, we were able to measure the lesion accurately using the Scion Image(R) CONCLUSIONS: The Scion Image(R)program may be used for the measurement of corneal surface lesion. It seemed to allow objective and accurate measurement.
