Color Atlas of Gonioscopy
Wallace L.M. Alward, MD; Reid A. Longmuir, MD
Successful gonioscopy is critical in the diagnosis
of glaucoma and is an essential element of any
thorough eye examination. It is also one of the
most difficult ophthalmological techniques to learn
and perform.
The second edition is a comprehensive
introduction to gonioscopic techniques and a
vital manual for clinicians wishing to be proficient
in examining the anterior segment of the eye.
Highlights include sections on selective laser
trabeculoplasty, ultrasound biomicroscopy and
anterior segment ocular coherence tomography
(OCT); updated text and references; and nearly
400 drawings and photographs.
