PURPOSE To demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasound biomicroscopy in detecting the morphological changes in the lens caused by the spontaneous absorption of lens material and to detect fundus abnormalities in a patient with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. METHODS Case report of an infant diagnosed at the age of 2 months as having Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. RESULTS Spontaneous lens absorption...

OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of central corneal thickness measurements using ultrasound biomicroscopy, Orbscan II tomography and an Artemis-2 very high frequency ultrasound scanner. METHODS The prospective study was conducted at Eye World Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from September to November 2012. One eye from each of 60 normal subjects was analysed. The central corneal thickness was ...

purpose: to report occurrence, management, and outcome of late-onset traumatic dislocation of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) flaps case report: we report a patient with late-onset lasik corneal flap dislocation after blunt ocular trauma occurring four years after surgery. an ultrasound biomicroscopy (ubm) was performed to view the status of flap and determination of flap thickness. result...

The visualisation of living tissues at microscopic resolution is attracting attention in several fields. In medicine, the goals are to image healthy and diseased tissue with the aim of providing information previously only available from biopsy samples. In basic biology, the goal may be to image biological models of human disease or to conduct longitudinal studies of small-animal development. H...

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...
