“…UBM can also identify occult zonular damage in patients with anterior segment trauma. 35 The ability to diagnose zonular rupture preoperatively is of significant benefit to the surgeon and might reduce the chance of intraoperative complications.…”

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.

We describe a pseudophakic patient with pseudoexfoliation who developed late intraocular lens (IOL) instability manifested by pseudophakodonesis, a change in refraction, and loss of glaucoma control. The patient subsequently required glaucoma surgery that was complicated by vitreous loss. Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) failed to provide useful information regarding the zonular status. The patient died as a result of a malignancy, and the eye was donated for research. Anatomical evaluation confirmed the clinical impression of IOL placement in the bag and zonular laxity. Postmortem UBM helped explain some of the technical difficulties in examining zonules in the pseudophakic state.

“…5,6 Radial scans were taken through 360 degrees, and the location of capsular remnants and iridocapsular adhesions were recorded in terms of number of clock hours. 7,8 The choice of ciliary sulcus or anterior chamber IOL made following ocular examination was reviewed following the HFU findings.…”

High-frequency ultrasound is a useful adjunct for the preoperative assessment of secondary ciliary sulcus-supported IOL implantation in aphakic patients who had congenital cataract extraction without IOL implantation. In patients in whom inadequate dilation precludes the detection of capsular support, posterior ciliary sulcus-supported secondary IOL implantation should be considered preoperatively. Although the technique enhances surgical planning and informed patient consent, the final decision occurs at the time of surgery with direct visualization of the ciliary sulcus support.
