Abstract Purpose: To report a novel grading system for assessing the activity of anterior scleritis.

Cases and Method: This study was made on 26 eyes of 19 cases who were diagnosed with anterior scleritis in the past 55 months. The series comprised 6 males and 13 females. The age ranged from 25 to 80 years, average 56 years. Scleritis was present in both eyes in 7 cases and in one eye in 12 cases. Hyperemia was graded into 1 to 4 points according to the area of involvement. Ocular pain was graded into 1 to 3 points regarding to the severity. Cases were followed up for 1 to 42 months, average 15 months.

Results: The clinical score reflected the clinical activity of scleritis regarding hyperemia and ocular pain. It showed poor correlation with the clinical feature when inflammation was not restricted to the anterior scleritis. This problem was solved by additional description of ocular complications other than scleritis.

Conclusion: The present grading system was simple to use and was useful in the follow-up of clinical course and evaluation of treatment.
