This article is an update on the main concepts, techniques, equipment, lenses, and uses of the gonioscopy exam, with a main focus on its importance for new antiglaucoma therapies: selective laser trabeculoplasty and angular surgeries. This review and update is necessary because it is an essential exam for the daily practice of ophthalmologists, consolidating the knowledge necessary to perform it and because of the increasing use of gonioscopy in new anti-aglaucomatous therapies.
