The eye can be further
examined with ultrasound, employing the same principles used in fetal
ultrasound, although on a smaller scale. The sound delivered is reflected at
different tissue interfaces and the reflected beam is received by the
transducer. The reflected sound waves are analyzed to give further
information about ocular structures. The transducer itself may be placed
directly on the eye, after topical anesthesia, or on the eyelid, depending
on the desired procedure.
A-scan ultrasound is necessary as part of the preoperative evaluation for
cataract surgery, as the axial length of the eye must be
determined to properly calculate the necessary intraocular lens power for
any given eye. It may also give useful information on certain types of
intraocular tumors.
B-scan ultrasound displays a 2-dimensional image of the internal structures
in the eye, allowing for evaluation of the retina when it
is obscured by media opacities, such as occurs with dense cataract and
vitreous hemorrhage. It is also useful in the evaluation of ocular tumors
and a variety of other ocular disorders.
