Abstract :

B–scan ultrasonography (USG) is an easily available, simple, noninvasive tool for diagnosing lesions of the orbit. Common orbital conditions such as cataract, vitreous degeneration, retinal detachment, ocular trauma, choroidal melanoma, and retinoblastoma etc. can be accurately evaluated with this modality. B–scan USG is cost–effective, which is an important consideration in the developing country like India. In addition, it is noninvasive and the results are reproducible. The purpose of this study is to show how sonography can reveal pathology of the eye and to highlight its usefulness as a simple and cost–effective tool in investigating eye symptoms.
