Gonioscopy is the current “Gold Standard” for viewing and imaging the anterior chamber angle. It is a simple technique of vital importance for the correct diagnosis of various forms of glaucoma. In ideal situations, a gonioscopic view of the angle may be obtained atleast once in all patients visiting the outpatient services of an ophthalmology clinic, like other routine eye examinations including direct ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp biomicroscopy. However, it is mandatory to perform gonioscopy in all cases of suspected or established glaucomatous pathology. The ground reality is that gonioscopy is seldom performed by the general ophthalmologists and glaucoma treatment is often started without documentation of the anterior chamber angle. A lack of adequate training in gonioscopy in residency programmes is perhaps an important cause for this lapse. The current text and atlas offers a unique learning source to the reader as it covers basic principles, indications and techniques for performing gonioscopy, highlights goniopathologies in congenital and acquired conditions and includes goniovideos to give a near “hands on” experience to the trainee ophthalmologist.
