PEREZ GONZALEZ, Henry et al. Usefulness of gonioscopy for diagnosing glaucoma. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.5, pp. 920-931. ISSN 1561-3194.

A bibliographical review was made aiming at exposing the fundamental gonioscopical characteristics present in glaucoma patients; searching the main scientific articles in recent years, and also within the printed literature including the topic, being chosen the most relevant contents for the elaboration of the final report. It was concluded that gonioscopy, as a diagnostic means, allows the ophthalmologist to recognize signs related with the several glaucomatous diseases, a reason why it constitutes a necessary and valid method for diagnosing and classifying glaucoma. It is indispensable for any professional worker in this area of medicine to dominate the technique and interpret its findings.
