Table 2. Conjunctival inflammation, tear function, and ocular surface status

Note the significant positive correlations between conjunctival inflammatory cell densities and conjunctival injection grades, and ocular surface vital staining scores (the higher the inflammatory cell density, the higher the conjunctival injection grades and the vital staining scores). Note also the significant negative correlations between the conjunctival inflammatory cell densities, tear stability (BUT) and corneal sensitivity values (the higher the inflammatory cell density, the lower the the tear stability and the corneal sensitivity).
