Gonio 2 Flashcards
anterior curve of goniolens is such that the critical angle is not reached
direct gonio (koeppe) truer appreciation of the angle depth can be used on sedated patients
In indirect gonio the image is
mirror image of the opposite angle
ojects anterior-> periphery
objects posterior - centraly
no change in lateral orientation
what causes suction effect on goldmann gonioscopy
the solution and the steep BC of the lens
most common angle of gonio mirrors
62 degrees
greater distance of gonio lens results in more
tangential view across iris
tilting a gonio lens will change
angulation and brings mirror closer to the corneal apex (less tangential)
what can allow you to view over convex iris during gonio
tilting the lens
Indentation gonioscopy can be done with a Zeiss gonio lens because
it has a small diameter and its possible to indent the cornea and open an angle that is appositionally closed
ability to manipulate the peripheral iris can be helpful in
differentiating appositional vs synechial closure
indentation fails to open= synechial closure
since goldmann gonio lens is steeper than the cornea (smaller base curve)
solution is used, suction occurs
goldmanns gonio is a ___ mirror design, with diameter __ than corneal and ___ than the cornea.
3 mirror
greater diameter than cornea
steeper than cornea
Zeiss is a __ mirror design. With handle (Posner) or without(Sussman). Diameter is ___ than the cornea, BC is ___ compared to the cornea.
4 mirror
smaller diameter than the cornea
same BC as the cornea
insertion of Zeiss gonio lens requires patient to look
in primary gaze
insertion of golmanns gonio requires patient to look
up, lens is inserted in inferior fornix and then tilted on the globe
when performing gonio it is important that the light
does not enter the pupil
to examine 4 quadrants with Zeiss you ___. and with Goldman’s you___.
zeiss-> shift view from mirror to mirror
goldmanns-> rotate the lens
during gonio you have to identify the most __ visible angle structure
posterior
which quadrant is usually the deepest during gonio
inferior is deepest and superior is shallowest
corneal wedge is used to identify
SL
