Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul/TURKEY Gonioscopy is still the golden standart to examine the anterior chamber angle of the glaucoma patients since it is a simple application and simple equipment, such as a goniolens, is needed. Some other helping screening methods are required to determine the anterior chamber angle or posterior of iris when the cornea has no transparency or if there is hyphema.

Particularly in angle closure glaucoma patients, new technologies including anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and scheimpflug photography help the diagnosis of structural variations like pupillary block, plateau iris configuration or a swollen lens that are responsible from angle closure

Clinical studies determine throughly the limits of each technique for glaucoma diagnosis glaucoma diagnosis. In the light of these data, they will have more clinical applications in clinical practice. Keywords : Angle closure glaucoma, ubm, anterior segment OCT
