This website is created by Lee Alward, MD at the U of Iowa. Check it out, it's cool!

==========================
I am writing to let you know about a new website that I have created to teach gonioscopy. I have annoyed lots of you with snippets of it as I have assembled it, but it is now done enough to release.

As most of you know, I have been collecting gonioscopy video clips for about 20 years. With the tremendously enthusiastic help of Randy Verdick and Jessica Bryant, I have gathered about 90 together on a website that I am hoping will be an effective teaching tool.

I believe that the site will be helpful to residents, fellows and non-glaucoma colleagues who want to polish their gonioscopy skills. It is a place to see videos of indentation gonioscopy and the corneal wedge. For the basic examination there are three brief how-to clips and for the techniques for difficult angles there are brief how-to lectures as the first clip on each page.

I anticipate having >150 disease clips from the Glaucoma Service files. My hope is that others will want to add their great videos to the site so that it can be a growing repository of slit lamp and gonioscopy videos relevant to glaucoma. I plan to eventually add sections on angle grading, angle surgery and the history of gonioscopy.

I am sending it to the Iowa faculty, fellows and residents so that you get to see it before anyone else.

I welcome your input on ways that I can improve it.

The address is easy to remember (gonioscopy.org). http://gonioscopy.org/

I anticipate that it will soon be linked to Eye Rounds.

Thanks and best wishes.

Thanks. Just what we needed! How cool.

Awesome site. It definitely deserves a sticky. Thanks.

Thanks. That's a very nice site.

Lee's small gonioscopy book is also excellent, for people who are interested in that sort of thing.
