Abstract
For gonioscopy, lenses are necessary. These are of different diameter and curvature, and therefore have specific fields of application: regular gonioscopy or dynamic/indentation gonioscopy to distinguish between an open angle and causes of angle closure. A low light level in the room and a small slit lamp beam are important in examination of narrow angles.
