Role of 25 MHz Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in the Detection of Subluxated Lenses

Figure 3

Slightly subluxated lens with traumatic cataract images obtained in the same patient with 25 and 50 MHz UBM. (a) A 25 MHz UBM image clearly shows a slightly subluxated lens, the anterior and posterior capsular tear of the lens (arrows), and the opacity of whole lens; (b) an axial image of 50 MHz UBM shows only the tear and opacity of the anterior lens capsule (arrow); other lens lesions were not shown clearly, especially in the posterior capsule of the lens; and the tear location could not be seen; (c–f) the longitudinal section images of 50 MHz UBM show only the tear and opacity of the anterior lens capsule (arrow), and the differences in the distance between the lens equator and the ciliary process in these figures were not significantly different.
