Anterior segment imaging techniques

Anterior chamber angle imaging devices can be useful to identify the iris configuration of a narrow angle, to assess the influence of the lens, for triage or in iris where the angle cannot be visualised by gonioscopy. However, anterior chamber angle imaging should not replace gonioscopy since features such as peripheral anterior synechia, pigment, and other secondary causes of trabecular dysfunction may be missed.
