This position is commonly used by a superiorly seated surgeon using a combination of downward patient tilt of approximately 30 to 35 degrees, microscope tilt toward the surgeon at the same angle, and an intraoperative \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gonioscopy\"\u003egoniolens\u003c\/a\u003e or prism that allows visualization of the inferior trabecular meshwork.
