ROLE OF ULTRASOUNDIN MANAGEMENT OF GLAUCOMA
JOSEPH HALIM KHILLA;
Abstract
Glaucoma is well suited to investigation & treatment using ultrasound.
The mechanisms of many disorders associated with glaucoma are related to anatomic abnormalities of the anterior segment.
It has been impossible until recently to examme the
relationships of the structures surrounding the posterior chamber clinically, as they are hidden from view behind the iris.
Wide pupillary dilatation may make the ciliary processes
visible but at the expense of being able to ascertain their relationship to the iris under physiologic conditions. Ultrasound biomicroscopy has given us a new way of looking at disease in the living eye. We can now observe the interrelationships and movement of structures that previously could not be imaged.
