Direct Gonioscopy<br />

The use of a contact goniolens like the Koeppe lens permits the light from the anterior chamber to pass through the<br />

cornea so that the angle may be viewed.<br />

Some peculiarities of this technique are:<br />

Patients must lie on their back<br />

Gives a direct view of the anterior chamber angle<br />

Good magnification<br />

Easy orientation <strong>for</strong> the observer<br />

Possible simultaneous comparison of both eyes<br />

Requires high magnification whit illuminated loupes or portable<br />

slit-lamp<br />

Angle view possible with direct ophthalmoscope by dialing<br />

high plus lens<br />

Indirect Gonioscopy<br />

The light from the anterior chamber is made to exit via a mirror built into a contact glass.<br />

Some peculiarities of this technique are:<br />

Patient must be at the slit lamp<br />

Indirect view of the anterior chamber angle<br />

Faster than direct gonioscopy during routine ophthalmological<br />

exam<br />

It can be used to see the fundus (using the central part of the<br />

lens) at the slit lamp.<br />

Inability to compare the two eyes simultaneously<br />

The most common Gonioscopy lenses:<br />

Direct<br />

Koeppe (contact fluid required)<br />

Layden (sized <strong>for</strong> infants; contact fluid required)<br />

Worst<br />

Indirect<br />

Posner or Zeiss or Sussman 4 mirror (contact fluid not required)<br />

Goldmann lens, 1 to 4 mirrors (contact fluid required)<br />

CGA 1.4 © Lasag (contact fluid required)<br />
