Gonioscopy is an essential part of the glaucoma patient’s exam, in order to guide proper treatment. Also, a key step in performing Angle surgery or MIGS procedures is to perform proper gonioscopy: pre-operatively at the slit-lamp as well as at the microscope in the operating room.
This workshop aims to improve gonioscopy skills at the slit-lamp and at the surgical microscope for glaucoma specialists who want to begin or improve their effectiveness at Angle/MIGS procedures by mastering gonioscopy.
