Intraobserver and interobserver agreement among anterior chamber angle evaluations using automated 360-degree gonio-photos.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To investigate the reproducibility for the iridocorneal angle evaluations using the pictures obtained by a gonioscopic camera, Gonioscope GS-1 (Nidek Co., Gamagori, Japan).<h4>Methods</h4>The pragmatic within-patient comparative diagnostic evaluations for 140...
