Abstract

Gonioscopy is necessary for determining the mechanisms causing increased intraocular pressure in the patient with glaucoma. There are useful methods which simplify the gonioscopist's task. Particular emphasis is placed upon positioning the lens, pressure gonioscopy, and special illumination techniques as they apply to the glaucoma patient.
