BACKGROUND: Though various gonioscopy teaching platforms are available, they predominantly comprise of real time scenarios and videos. For a beginner, we suggest providing animations of the real time scenario for cognitive training; and then putting them in real time scenarios for a better concept application and practice. PURPOSE: This video highlights the basic tips and tricks needed to perform gonioscopy with metaphorical conceptual learning matching the 2D and 3D animations with real time scenarios. SYNOPSIS: Simple and practical scenarios with technical details on how to perform gonioscopy and various challenges are shown. All the animations and videos are created by us, tailored to a neophyte. The following concepts are covered: normal angle (animation versus real-time), dynamicity of the gonioscopic dates of person, methods of gonioscopy - direct and Indirect, precautions and slit lamp adjustment, bubble trouble, patient examination, iris process versus peripheral anterior synechiae (animation versus real-time), patient examination (angle viewing order) for different lens, how to remove gonioscopy lens from the eye, static versus dynamic gonioscopy, situations where gonioscopy is contraindicated, grading of the angle (with animations), clinical scenarios (pseudoexfoliation, pigment dispersion, angle recession and aniridia), and surgical scenarios (patent ostium and blocked ostium). HIGHLIGHTS: Multiple animations and real-time videos with focal points for effective practice are the highlights of this video. VIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/fFmPmqgdjyM.
