Sampaolesi line

Sampaolesi line is a sign which may be observed during a clinical eye examination. During gonioscopy (where the structures of the eye's anterior segment are examined), if an abundance of brown pigment is seen at or anterior to Schwalbe's line, a Sampaolesi line is said to be present.{{cite web |url=http://www.gonioscopy.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=197&Itemid=757 |title=Sampaolesi Line Visible on Slit Lamp Exam |website=www.gonioscopy.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202021308/http://www.gonioscopy.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=197&Itemid=757 |archive-date=2017-02-02}} {{Cite web | url=http://eyewiki.aao.org/Pseudoexfoliative_Glaucoma |title = Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma - EyeWiki}}{{Cite web | url=http://www.odpalace.com/sampaolesi.asp |title = Sampaolesi's Line}} The presence of a Sampaolesi line can signify pigment dispersion syndrome or pseudoexfoliation syndrome.{{cite web|url=http://www.gonioscopy.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=197&Itemid=757|title=Sampaolesi Line Visible on Slit Lamp Exam}}{{cite web|url=https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/zoom-in-on-gonioscopy|title=Zoom in on Gonioscopy|first1=Emily|last1=Bruce|first2=Rodney|last2=Bendure|first3=Sarah|last3=Krein|first4=Nathan|last4=Lighthizer}}

Gonioscopy is performed during eye examinations, which involves placing a mirrored lens on the patient's cornea in order to visualise the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye.{{cite web|url=http://www.gonioscopy.org/|title=Atlas of Gonioscopy}}
