Objective/purpose: Standardization of eye care data is important for clinical interoperability and research. We aimed to address gaps in the representations of glaucoma examination concepts within Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT), the preferred terminology of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Design: Study of data elements.
Aim: To demonstrate a rare case of ciliary body leiomyoma in our patient Case report: A 72-year-old female reported to our clinic for a preventive examination, upon which we found a dome-shaped grey-brownish mass on the retinal periphery. After completing gonioscopic and ultrasound examinations, we referred the patient to a specialist facility. Due to a finding of suspicious malignant melanoma, we completed the MRI scan and recommended enucleation of the eyeball.

Background: To evaluate real-world utilization of gonioscopy for diagnosing glaucoma among ophthalmologists with diverse subspecialties, and understand current perceptions of teaching, training, and confidence in gonioscopy.
Methods: A nationwide anonymous online survey was conducted among practicing ophthalmologists, querying about demographics, professional experience, practice of routine ocular examination for glaucoma and perceptions of confidence in performing them.
Results: 136 ophthalmologists participated in the survey, with various levels of experience from residency to over twenty years of ophthalmology practice.

Article Synopsis
- Slit-lamp gonioscopy is essential in ophthalmology for examining anterior chamber angles and diagnosing various eye conditions, but the conventional method is cumbersome, requiring the juggling of a gonioscopy lens and a smartphone.
- The article introduces a new universal slit-lamp-mounted gonioscope called IndiGo, created from recycled materials, which simplifies the gonioscopy and goniophotography process.
- This innovative system allows for easier assessment of eye conditions and the quick sharing of high-quality images with glaucoma specialists, improving efficiency and promoting sustainability in eye care.
