Gonioscopy forms part of a complete ophthalmic examination and is mandatory for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Gonioscopy permits identification of eyes at risk for closure and detects angle abnormalities that could have diagnostic and therapeutic implications. The technique of gonioscopy, its value in management, and guidelines for routine use are discussed in this paper.
