Nidek has launched the GS-1, the first automated gonioscopy device with 360° color iridocorneal angle imaging, according to a press release.

Using a 16-surface multi-mirrored prism lens, the GS-1 was designed to capture the entire 360° of the angle, the release said. Acquired images can be “stitched” together, which provides a view of the entire angle to support assessment and clinical findings. Diagnosis can occur after image acquisition instead of at the time of assessment, which makes this device different from classic gonioscopy.

“We believe that the GS-1 represents a new chapter in the history of ophthalmology. Especially in light of recent advances such as MIGS, the GS-1 is exactly the innovation that will support surgical assessment in an objective and efficient manner,” Motoki Ozawa, Nidek president and CEO, said in the release. “The GS-1 also shows Nidek’s commitment to continually innovate to present physicians with devices that will enhance clinical practice.”
