gonioscopie
Gonioscopie is a diagnostic ophthalmic procedure used to examine the anterior chamber angle of the eye, the region where the iris meets the cornea and through which aqueous humor drains. By visualizing the angle, clinicians can assess the openness of the angle and identify conditions such as angle-closure risk, pigment deposition, neovascularization, or peripheral anterior synechiae.
The examination is typically performed at a slit lamp with the patient seated. Topical anesthesia is used,
Gonioscopy also relies on a standardized grading system to describe angle openness, with the Shaffer scale
Indications for gonioscopy include evaluation of suspected angle-closure glaucoma, assessment of pigmented or neovascular changes in
Complications are uncommon but may include corneal abrasion, infection, or discomfort; proper sterile technique and gentle
