Type Technique Remark
Axial Probe is placed perpendicular to the corneal
surface over the pupil
– Horizontal scan: marker is oriented nasally
– Vertical scan: marker is oriented superiorly
Radial
(longitudinal)
Transverse Probe placed parallel to the limbus
Probe is placed perpendicular to the limbus at
each clock hour
– Central scan: over the cornea and iris
– Peripheral scan: over the limbus
Good for assessing
– anterior chamber depth
– orientation of displaced or tilted
It is the most common scan used in UBM
examinations.
Good for imaging the following:
– anterior chamber angle, identication
– anterior to posterior extent of mass
Ideal for the evaluation of:
– lateral extent of iris and ciliary body
– ciliary processes

ClearScan® is a single-use UBM probe tip
cover consisting of a ne acoustically invisible
lm that can be lled with water. It eliminates the
chances of ocular injury with the moving transducer and the need for a scleral shell [10]. This
allows the scan to be performed in a sitting or
reclining position.
To perform the examination, the probe is
placed directly over the ocular structures to be
imaged. The penetration of the ultrasound
through the skin is not as good as through the
conjunctiva, as the keratinized epithelium attenuates the ultrasound beam.
The cornea, iris, and crystalline lens can be
imaged in any plane. Radially orientated images
through the limbus provide a cross-sectional
view of the anterior chamber angle (Fig. 23.2,
Table 23.2). To image the conjunctiva, anterior
sclera, ciliary body, and ora, the patient is asked
to look 180° away from the clock hour of interest.
Images are brightest when the probe is perpendicular to the surface examined, and the reected
sound is returned directly to the transducer [1].
The top of the UBM display screen corresponds to the front of the transducer. A marker
along the probe’s side helps in the orientation of

transducer movement and the image formed. The
far left of the display screen corresponds to the
area toward the marker, and the far right of the
display screen corresponds to the area away from
the marker [4]. In the image, structures at the top
of the display screen are closest to the probe tip,
and those at the bottom are the farthest (Fig.23.2).
Measurements within the scanned area can be
carried out with the software provided with the
machine (Fig.23.3) [1].
23.5 Clinical Applications
ofUltrasound Biomicroscopy
UBM is useful in assessing the anterior segment,
with details of the anatomical structure, pathology, and pathophysiology of various ocular diseases. UBM is contraindicated in penetrating
ocular trauma. Here, we describe the clinical
application of UBM in diagnosing and managing
different ocular conditions.
23.5.1 Ocular Surface
UBM helps identify the extent of ocular surface
tumors [11], invasion of adjacent structures, and
the posterior limit. It is useful in imaging in the
presence of corneal opacities and pigmented
lesions (Figs.23.4 and 23.5).
23.5.2 Cornea
In UBM, the corneal epithelium has a smooth
reection; Bowman’s membrane and Descemet’s
membrane-endothelial layer are highly reective
lines with a hypoechoic stroma in between. UBM
helps in imaging corneal edema (microcystic and
stromal) and Descemet’s membrane detachment
in the presence of corneal haze or opacity. The
anterior segment status in eyes with corneal opacity can be assessed for any iridocorneal touch,
anterior synechiae, and iridolenticular contact
(Fig.23.6).
23.5.3 Sclera
UBM can be useful in imaging the sclera anterior
to the equator. In episcleritis, a localized hyperreective thickened area is seen in the episcleral
tissue with normal reectivity of the scleral
stroma. In scleritis, both episcleral and scleral
stroma appear hyperechoic.
23.5.4 Lens andZonules
1. Normal zonules appear as medium reective
lines extending from the ciliary processes to
the lens margin [9, 10]. UBM helps in identifying areas of zonular abnormalities.
Increased lenticular sphericity is seen in areas
of zonular abnormality. Direct signs of zonular abnormality include the absence of zonular
bers, increased zonular ber length, and the
presence of zonular remnants on the lens capsule. Ciliary body attening and increased
lens–ciliary body distance can also be seen
(Fig.23.7) [11].
2. Position of the intraocular lens: UBM can
detect the position of the posterior chamber

UBM can localize the haptic position in eyes
with UGH syndrome, where the haptics erode
the iris and ciliary process and cause uveitis,
glaucoma, and hyphema [4].
3. Microphakia and spherophakia: The equatorial and anterior-posterior diameter of the
crystalline lens can be determined with UBM
in eyes with microspherophakia and spherophakia (Fig.23.8).
4. Trauma to lens: Anterior and posterior cap-
sule status can be determined in traumatic
cataract. Position of the crystalline lens and
zonular status can be imaged [12, 13]
(Fig.23.8).

mechanisms of angle closure disease because it can

image the ciliary body and lens. Identication of the
scleral spur as a landmark is important in assessing
the angle morphology. The various mechanisms of
angle closure are (Fig.23.9) as follows:
(a) Lens iris diaphragm conguration: A con-
vex iris conguration, shallow anterior
chamber, and iridotrabecular contact are
seen in angle closure disease due to a relative
pupillary block (Fig.23.9).
(b) Plateau iris conguration: An anteriorly
directed ciliary processes pushing the peripheral iris and causing iridotrabecular contact
is present (Fig.23.9) [1–4, 15]. The ciliary
sulcus is absent, the iris root is short or thick,
and a steep iris root from its point of insertion followed by a downward angulation is
present along with a at iris plane. The central anterior chamber depth is normal.
(c) Pseudoplateau iris with cysts of iris and
ciliary body epithelium: On UBM, these
multiple neuroepithelial cysts of the ciliary
body have a well-delineated wall without a
solid component. They push the peripheral
iris leading to iridotrabecular contact
(Fig.23.9) [1–4, 16].

low central and peripheral anterior chamber
depth (Fig.23.9) [1–4].

(a) Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and
pigmentary glaucoma (PG): In eyes with PDS
and PG, a deep anterior chamber with posterior
bowing of the mid-peripheral iris, causing a
reverse pupillary block is seen (Fig.23.10). The
posterior insertion of the iris root and iris-zonular apposition are responsible for the pigment
dispersion from the posterior pigmented epithelium of the iris can be imaged [19].
(b) Angle recession: Deepening of the angle
recess and a tear of the ciliary processes
from the scleral spur can be detected
(Fig.23.10).
(c) Pseudoexfoliation (PXF): Zonular abnor-
mality and lens position can be imaged in
patients with PXF [14]. The PXF material
can be seen on the zonules and peripheral
lens capsule.
