Abstract
Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a useful technique for anterior segment ev aluation; however, examination of the pars plana and the peripheral re tina is difficult. We describe a method that facilitates ultrasound bi omicroscopic examination of these areas using a modified swimming gogg le (orbital cup) and an eyelid speculum. With this method, not only th e pars plana but also structures up to 15 mm from the temporal limbus can be readily imaged.
