Gonioscopy is a very important examination method for diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of patients with glaucoma. The main task of gonioscopy is the visualization of the configuration of the anterior chamber angle.
Tonometry - measurement of intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye). The instruments used in tonometry, with a small force, deform the surface of the cornea, which is used to calculate intraocular pressure.
