2. WHAT IS GONIOSCOPY?
It is a biomicroscopic examination of angle of anterior chamber (irido-
corneal angle) by using a device goniolens/ gonioscope/ gonioprism
WHY THE ANGLE OF ANTERIOR CHAMBER
CANNOT BE VISUALISE DIRECTLY?
Lack of transparency of corneoscleral junction.
Emergent light from angle structures undergo Total Internal Reflection at
Corneal surface
4. TYPES:
Direct gonioscopy:
Done in supine position
Provides a direct view of the
angle
Useful in bedridden patient,
anaesthetized patient, children
E.g., Koeppe goniolens, Barkan
goniolens
Indirect gonioscopy:
Done in sitting position on slit
lamp
Provides a mirror image of the
opposite angle
E.g. Zeiss 4 mirror gonioscope,
Posner 4 mirror gonioscope,
Goldmann single mirror
gonioscope
10. GRADING
Shaffer system
The Shaffer system is based on angularity.
GRADE ANGLE CONFIGURATION STRUCTURES
VISIBLE
CHANCES OF CLOSURE
IV 35尊-45尊 WIDEST ANGLE SL,TM,SS,CBB NIL
III 25尊-35尊 OPEN ANGLE SL,TM,SS NIL
II 20尊 MODERATELY OPEN SL,TM POSSIBLE
I 10尊 VERY NARROW SL, anterior TM HIGHLY LIKELY
0 0尊 CLOSED NONE CLOSED
11. APPLICATION OF GONIOSCOPY:
Classification of Glaucoma
Localization of foreign bodies, abnormal blood vessels, tumors in angle
Demonstration of Peripheral Anterior Synechiae
Surgical aid in goniotomy
CONTRAINDICATION OF GONIOSCOPY:
Hyphaema
Compromised cornea (e.g., corneal ulcer)
Lacerated or perforated globe
