What is Gonioscopy?
Gonioscopy is an eye examination that evaluates the drainage angle in a dog's eye. It helps detect glaucoma risk by assessing how fluid drains from the eye.
Why is Gonioscopy Important?
Certain breeds are prone to narrow drainage angles, increasing the risk of glaucoma. Early screening helps prevent sudden vision loss and severe eye pain.
How is Gonioscopy Performed?
A veterinary ophthalmologist uses a specialised lens to examine the drainage angle. If abnormalities are found, early treatment can slow disease progression.
