What is a Gonioscope?

A gonioscope is a specialized ophthalmic instrument used by eye care professionals to examine the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye. The gonioscope consists of a lens system and a mirrored prism that allows the examiner to visualize the angle structures of the eye. By placing the gonioscope gently on the cornea, the examiner can view the angle between the cornea and the iris. This angle is important for assessing and diagnosing various eye conditions, particularly those related to the drainage of the aqueous humor, the fluid that nourishes the eye.

Parts of Gonioscope

  • Gonioscope lens
  • Mirrored Prism
  • Light Source
  • Viewing Window

Features of Gonioscope

The features of a gonioscope includes:

  • Magnification: Gonioscopes typically have a built-in gonioscope lens system that provides magnification, allowing for a closer examination of the angle structures of the eye. The level of magnification may vary between different models.
  • Mirrored Prism: The mirrored prism is a crucial feature of a gonioscope. It is designed to direct light into the eye at a specific angle and reflect the image of the angle structures back to the examiner. The prism is often made of a high-quality glass or plastic material with a mirrored surface.
  • Angulation Adjustments: Some advanced gonioscopes offer angulation adjustments, allowing the examiner to alter the angle of the mirrored prism. This feature can provide better visualization of the angle structures, especially in cases where the anatomy varies or is challenging to observe.
  • Video or Image Capture: In certain modern gonioscopes, there may be provisions for video or image capture. This allows the examiner to document findings or share visual records with colleagues for consultation or educational purposes.
  • Illumination Capability: Some gonioscopes may have built-in illumination capabilities or be compatible with external light sources. These light sources can help illuminate the angle structures, enhancing visibility during the examination.
  • Ergonomic Design: A good gonioscope is often ergonomically designed with a comfortable handle or grip, allowing the examiner to hold and manipulate the instrument with ease during the examination.

Types of Gonioscope

There are several types of gonioscopes available with its own design and specific applications. Here are some common types:

  1. Zeiss-style Gonioscope: This type of gonioscope is named after the Carl Zeiss Meditec company, which popularized its design. It consists of a small, handheld instrument with a lens system and a mirrored prism. The Zeiss-style gonioscope is widely used in routine clinical practice for angle assessment and is compatible with most slit lamps.
  2. Posner Gonioscope: The Posner gonioscope is a popular handheld instrument with a concave contact lens design. It has a central viewing area that allows for direct visualization of the angle structures. This type of gonioscope is particularly useful in cases where the cornea has an irregular shape or when examining patients with a shallow anterior chamber.
  3. Sussman Gonioscope: The Sussman gonioscope is designed specifically for examining infants and children. It has a small-sized lens and a short handle for easier maneuverability in pediatric patients. The Sussman gonioscope allows for the evaluation of the angle structures in young patients who may not cooperate with traditional gonioscopy.
  4. Three-Mirror Gonioscope: A three-mirror gonioscope incorporates three mirrors arranged in a specific pattern. One mirror is positioned centrally to visualize the anterior chamber angle, while the other two mirrors allow for examination of the peripheral angle structures in different quadrants. The three-mirror configuration offers a more detailed assessment of the angle and is particularly useful in specialized clinical settings or research.
  5. Four-Mirror Gonioscope: The four-mirror gonioscope consists of four mirrors that provide a panoramic view of the angle structures. It offers a comprehensive assessment of the anterior chamber angle and is particularly useful in cases where the angle anatomy is complex or requires detailed examination.
