Before examining the angle configuration, the Van Chgrick Schaffer method is used to assess the depth of the anterior chamber. The assessment is performed during a slit lamp examination of the patient.
Gonioscopy is a very important examination method for diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of patients with glaucoma. The main objective of gonioscopy is to visualize the configuration of the anterior chamber angle.
Tonometry is the measurement of intraocular pressure (the pressure inside the eye). The instruments used in tonometry deform the surface of the cornea with a small force, which is used to calculate the intraocular pressure.
