In ophthalmology, gonioscopy is a routine procedure that measures the angle between the iris and the cornea (the iridocorneal angle), using a goniolens (also known as a gonioscope) together with a slit lamp or operating microscope. [1] [2] Its use is important in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions associated with glaucoma.
It should not however, be used as a replacement for the gonioscopy examination but rather be used as a means of refuting or confirming the results of a gonioscopy examination. [3] The Van Herick's technique has become the most commonly used qualitative method of assessing the size of the anterior chamber angle (ACA).
Iris Gonioscopy of the anterior chamber angle Anterior chamber angle cross-section imaged by an SD-OCT. The trabecular meshwork is an area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea , near the ciliary body , and is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the ...
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomography is a diagnostic procedure used in ophthalmology.The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) is an ophthalmological confocal point scanning laser ophthalmoscope [1] for examining the cornea and certain areas of the retina using different diagnostic modules (HRT retina, HRT cornea, HRT glaucoma).

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends comprehensive eye examinations, including dilated fundus examination, for asymptomatic patients without risk factors for eye disease at varying frequencies based on age: every 5–10 years in adults under 40 years, every 2–4 years in adults aged 40 to 54 years, every 1–3 years in adults aged ...
The first trial to do so is the TAGS randomised controlled trial which investigated if eye drops or trabeculectomy is more effective in treating advanced primary open-angle glaucoma. After two years researchers found that vision and quality of life are similar in both treatments.
