Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Angle closure glaucoma is a major cause of visual morbidity world wide. Gonioscopyis considered the current reference standard to evaluate the configuration of the anterior chamber angle. Both the techniques and interpretation of results require a considerable level of skill and experience.Our study concludes that Van herick’s technique is closely coinciding upto85%, to Shaffer’sgrading. 15% of Van herick’sgrade 4 revealed Shaffer’sgrade 1&2.Hence it is important to do gonioscopyin order to prevent Angle closure in occludable angles. Van herick’stechnique can be used as a screening test in mass glaucoma screening programmeas it is simple & easy.
