OBJECTIVE To describe the ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) characteristics seen in patients who have undergone deep phaco-sclerectomy with a new acrylic implant (Esnoper). SUBJECTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS UBM exploration was performed 12 months after deep phaco-sclerectomy in three patients with chronic open angle glaucoma. RESULTS One year after surgery, all three patients had intraocular pre...

Methods. Four anterior segment images of four normal patients were obtained by a single examiner. The measurements of three independent observers were compared to assess interobserver reproducibility in quantifying the images. Thirteen different anterior segment parameters were measured by each observer on each image. Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of measurement were assessed ...

PURPOSE To measure variations in diameter and location of Schlemm's canal in vivo by ultrasound biomicroscopy. DESIGN Prospective, single-institution, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-four patients with and without glaucoma. METHODS Under topical anesthesia, an 80-MHz iUltrasound probe (iScience Interventional, Inc., Menlo Park, CA) placed at the 12-o'clock position was used t...

Gene targeting in the mouse has become a standard approach, yielding important new insights into the genetic factors underlying cardiovascular development and disease. However, we still have very limited understanding of how mutations affect developing cardiovascular function, and few studies have been performed to measure altered physiological parameters in mouse mutant embryos. Indeed, althou...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate patients 24 months after deep sclerectomy (DE) with supraciliary implant, and identify any predictive success factors by examination with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study included 26 eyes of 23 patients evaluated by UBM 24 months after a deep sclerectomy with a supraciliary hema implant. RESULTS There was a significant reduction in intraocu...

Ophthalmia nodosa with vitreoretinal involvement is rare and may cause permanent loss of eye due to persistent inflammation of the eye. A young female patient having multiple caterpillar hair in the eye including cornea, anterior chamber, sclera, and pars plana presented with recurrent vitritis and pars planitis. Ultrasound biomicroscopy played a vital role and helped in localizing the hair emb...
