Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in Glaucoma: An Update
نویسندگان
چکیده
UBM is a high-frequency ultrasound technology that provides exceptionally detailed two-dimensional gray-scale images of the various anterior segment structures and evaluates them both quantitatively and qualitatively. It allows noninvasive in vivo imaging of structural details of the anterior ocular segment at near microscopic resolution and thus, there are many other applications of this new imaging method.This review outlines the uses of UBM in diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

متن کاملIsolated Spherophakia and Glaucoma
We report a case of spherophakia that caused glaucoma and describe the characteristics and the ultrasound biomicroscopy findings as well as the mechanism and management of glaucoma in spherophakia. We suggest considering lens extraction to manage glaucoma in spherophakia and discuss the surgical considerations and possible complications of such an intervention.

Purpose: To report a rare presentation of ophthalmic tuberculosis. Case Report: A 19-year-old man was referred to the glaucoma clinic due to multiple attacks of increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye. IOP of the right eye was 50 mmHg, and glaucomatous damage of the optic nerve was present. In gonioscopy, an oval-black lesion was present in the ciliary body band on the temporal si...
متن کاملOverview of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a high-resolution ultrasound technique that allows noninvasive in vivo imaging of structural details of the anterior ocular segment at near light microscopic resolution and provides detailed assessment of anterior segment structures, including those obscured by normal anatomic and pathologic relations. This review gives an overview regarding the instrument, tec...
