Gonioscopy is an important part of glaucoma diagnosis and management. Imaging and documentation of the anterior chamber angle has been previously performed using slit-lamp assisted photography or using smartphones with or without an attached macrolens. Smartphones have transformed ophthalmic imaging by virtue of their availability, easy use and portability. In this report the authors aim to demonstrate gonio-imaging using a smartphone attached with an intraocular lens which behaves like a macrolens. With the patient in sitting position or in the supine position, a goniolens is placed on the patient's cornea. A smartphone with a 10D intraocular lens attachment over its camera is used to take images or videos of the anterior chamber angle with high magnification. This imaging modality is cost effective and can be used for screening and photographic documentation of the angle and can be of immense benefit especially in primary health care centres.
