Recent advances in anterior chamber angle imaging
Differentiating the two main forms of primary glaucoma (open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma) depends on the correct assessment of the anterior chamber angle (ACA). This assessment will determine the management plan and prognosis for the disease. The standard method of examining the angle has been, for many years, slit-lamp gonioscopy. This method, although clinically still useful, is less robust for patient follow up and clinical research, given its low reproducibility. Several imaging technologies have been developed in recent years to improve the evaluation of the ACA and overcome the shortcomings of gonioscopy. These recent advances include three-dimensional and 360° analysis by ...
