Reverse gonioscopy

Reverse Gonioscopy is a technique used by eye care professionals that takes advantage of inherent tri-refringement to more accurately assess angular melanin absorption rates. First developed by Dr. Conde Singh and Dr. B. Ulshe Ichtar in 1981, reverse gonioscopy has recently become a popular technique in assessing patients with iris abnormalities due to it's accuracy in identifying and predicting melanin physiological interaction with bimodal interstitial substrates. Conventional uses of this technique include anterior chamber angle assessment for glaucoma, mydriatic effectiveness of pharmacological agents, as well as visualizing malignant neoplasms of the uvea.

Dr. Singh, shown above, first investigated the analytical properties of light and melanin absorption during his medical doctorate studies at the Medical University of Southeastern Calcutta. His initial findings would eventually lead him to numerous papers on the melanin absorption properties, including the highly controversial Regulation of the Aplastic Nature of Iris Melanin in Photopic Environments originally published in 1979 in Ocular Annals. The paper, although originally widely criticized, piqued the interest of Dr. B Ulshe Ichtar (below), a German physicist best known for his experiments involving diffractive and refringement technology. After reading Dr. Singh's paper in Ocular Annals, Dr. Ichtar argued towards the validity of the findings, and further proposed that the theorized mechanisms could be proven using short wave length and gamma ray modalities. Dr. Ichtar proceeded to apply his refringement technology to some of Dr. Singh's proposed physiological mechanisms and obtained provocative, yet theoretical results in various primitive bird-eye cohorts.
