Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The anterior chamber angle is crucial for diagnosing glaucoma.
  • Observing the angle under natural mydriasis in darkness presents challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel infrared gonioscopy system.
  • To enable visualization of the anterior chamber angle in a darkened environment.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of a slit-lamp microscope with an infrared light filter.
  • Indirect observation of the angle using a CCD monochrome camera and television monitor.

Main Results:

  • The infrared system successfully allowed observation of the anterior chamber angle.
  • Visualization was achieved under natural mydriasis in a completely darkened room.
