“…Intravitreal injections are increasingly common; patients may have had multiple injections for macular disease. A needle directed too anteriorly may puncture the posterior lens capsule and precipitate accelerated cataract development 32 . While the PCR may sometimes be visible on slit lamp biomicroscopy, 32 assessment of the posterior capsule integrity is limited in patients with a white cataract.…”

“…A needle directed too anteriorly may puncture the posterior lens capsule and precipitate accelerated cataract development 32 . While the PCR may sometimes be visible on slit lamp biomicroscopy, 32 assessment of the posterior capsule integrity is limited in patients with a white cataract. UBM can confirm the PCR and its location (Figure 15), and assess for possible zonulysis in vitrectomised eyes.…”

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is an invaluable investigation for imaging anterior segment structures. Although it is operator‐dependent and time consuming, unlike optical‐based imaging techniques, it is able to image structures posterior to the iris, such as the zonules, ciliary body and part of the pars plana. It is especially useful in advanced cataracts, traumatic cataracts, subluxed lenses, posterior polar cataracts, and congenital and developmental anomalies affecting the anterior segment. It provides diagnostic information in eyes with complex cataracts or intraocular lens (IOL)‐related pathology, and aids in surgical planning in order to minimise complications. In this review, we describe the UBM features of various lenticular pathologies and demonstrate its application in the diagnosis and surgical management of lens and IOL‐related pathologies.
