ABSTRACT:
Gonioscopy
allows us to examine the angle of anterior chamber and forms part of complete
ophthalmic examination and it is mandatory
for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma.
Gonioscopy permits the identification of eyes
at risk for closure and detects angle abnormalities that could have diagnostic
and therapeutic implications. Principle, types and techniques of gonioscopy,
various types of gonioscopic lenses used, indications of performing gonioscopy,
gonioscopic anatomy and grading are discussed in this article.
