AUTOMATED GONIOSCOPY
GONIOSCOPE GS-1




  • The Gonioscope GS-1, being introduced by Nidek, is an automated gonioscopy system with 3600 color imaging.



  • The GS-1 incorporates a multi-mirror prism lens. 



  • It has a white LED light for illumination.
  • 16 surfaces present in the system are able to visualize the entire 3600 in a single image.
  • A full capture includes 272 images (17 foci in 16 areas).


  • An automated “Angle Detection” system provides guidance in order to capture the anterior chamber angle irrespective of any color differences in the region.


  • The GS-1 captures the images and then “stitches” them into composite linear or circular images.


  • Each area is automatically captured in 17 different foci and upto 15 images in each area can be saved.
  • The machine uses high resolution to detect peripheral anterior synechiae, neovascularization, pigmentation and the position of MIGS.
  • The captured data is saved in an inbuilt SSD, without need for an external PC connection, enhancing safety and ease of retrieval.

  • The prism lens has a slideback safety mechanism to prevent excessive pressure on the cornea.
  • The lens uses a gel immersion technique to prevent injury to the corneal epithelium.
  • The machine has a 9-inch, color, tiltable, touch screen monitor with intuitive operations such as pinch-and-zoom as well as swipe.
