In ophthalmology, gonioscopy is a routine procedure that measures the angle between the iris and the cornea (the iridocorneal angle), using a goniolens (also known as a gonioscope) together with a slit lamp or operating microscope.^[1]^[2] Its use is important in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions associated with glaucoma.
