| description | Aim:
To evaluate the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in assessment of eyes with complicated pseudophakia.
Material and methods:
A prospective investigational study was conducted from May 2006 to May 2009 on 150 pseudophakic patients with post operative visual acuity of less than 3 meters. All 150 patients were subjected to UBM examination (50MHz) for intra ocular lens (IOL) position, optic and haptic touch, lens remnants, corneal thickness, anterior chamber (AC) depth and signs of inflammation. Patients with paediatric cataract, traumatic cataract, pre existing ocular diseases, post operativeendophthalmitis and IOL explantations were excluded from the study.
Results:
Out of 150 patients, 82 (54.6%) were males and 68 (45.4%) were females with the age ranging from 24 to 93 years. Right eye was affected in less number of patients, RE: LE being 60:90. UBM revealed corneal edema in 98 (65.3%), shallow AC in 60 (40%), IOL malposition in 83 (55.5%), optic capture in 41 (27.3%), optic and haptic touch in 65 (43%), residual lens matter in 48 (32%), signs of inflammation in 34 (22%), pupil block in 19 (12.6%) and iris bombe in 16 (10%) of the patients. Descemet's tear was noted in 4 (2.6%) of patients.
Conclusion:
UBM is an important tool for evaluation of complicated pseudophakia. It helps to explain the aetiology of complication and hence guides for further management. |
