Examples of gonioscopy
gonioscopy
Gonioscopy allows a direct view of these synechiae, and is thus especially helpful for the more subtle cases.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Gonioscopy indicates the angular width of the iridocorneal angle by the number of ocular structures visible above the rim of the iris.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In the absence of synechiae, indentation gonioscopy may reveal the area where the cornea and iris are truly anatomically attached, as compared to where they are simply apposed against each other.
