What is a 6-mirror/G-6 gonio lens used for?


A gonio lens with 6 mirrors is primarily used for gonioscopy to examine the anterior chamber iridoconeal angle and has 6 mirrors. The advantage of 6 mirrors is it essentially provides a 360 degree view of the anterior chamber angle so you never have to rotate the lens and can do a very quick gonioscopy exam. This also makes it more comfortable for the patient.
