ABiC According to the Expert - Mark J. Gallardo, MD (El Paso Eye Surgeons, Texas)

According to ABiC expert Mark J. Gallardo, MD, to become a successful ABiC surgeon, one must properly ensure good visualization of the nasal drainage angle. The temporal clear corneal wound should be made directly across from the nasal angle, and side port incisions should be 90º from this angle. Corneal incisions should avoid the limbal vessels as much as possible, as surface bleeding can stain the viscoelastic used as a coupling agent for the gonioscopy lens and hinder the view to the drainage angle.
