In Jones' own words: 'AngleCam enables 360-degree panoramic photographic documentation of the anterior chamber angle. It consists of a modified goniolens and software package, and could be used with existing slit-lamp imaging systems. It uses a conical mirrored goniolens, an ordinary imaging slit lamp or bespoke imaging set-up, and a software package that unravels the conical image to produce a repeatable visual documentation of the anterior chamber angle in a linear block, with the quadrants indicated in the familiar TSNIT way. This format is easily stored in hospital notes or compared within the software package, making it easy to monitor or compare areas of synechiae, pigmentation or angle recession. The market for this product would be mainly hospital ophthalmology departments or specialist optometrists, but it would be beneficial worldwide.
