ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the patient education ability and benefits in treating glaucoma and preventing blindness with the NIDEK GS-1 Gonioscope and earlier surgical intervention with cataract surgery/lensectomy and microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).METHODS:
This data was collected using a NIDEK GS-1 Gonioscope. Informed consent was obtained from all participants following explanation of possible risks. RESULTS ANDDISCUSSION:
NIDEK GS-1 automated gonioscopy offers many advantages, including (1) the ability to capture high quality, 360-degree chromatic documentation of the iridocorneal angle and trabecular meshwork, (2) improved patient education on the condition at hand through images; and (3) visualization of the change in the angle and trabecular meshwork before and after surgical intervention in patients with glaucoma. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Gonioscopic imaging is helpful in educating patients on the anatomy of the angle and how its anatomical configuration can contribute to glaucoma. It also gives clinicians a supplementary tool to document features of the ICA; to evaluate anatomical changes before and after surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts; and to demonstrate to patients how a specific surgical device or technique is controlling their intraocular pressure (IOP).Palabras clave
