Goniotomy and exam under anesthesia (EUA)

Shani S. Reich, Janet B. Serle

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Patients should have been evaluated and deemed appropriate for such surgical intervention. Typically an exam under anesthesia is performed to completely evaluate the eyes prior to beginning surgery. Uncontrolled eye pressure in patients with corneas sufficiently clear to visualize the anterior chamber angle details on gonioscopy can be considered for this procedure. Patients and/or appropriate family members should have been educated about the risks and benefits of the procedure, including alternatives.
