ultrasound biomicroscopy of the eye
1994Co-Authors: Charles J. Pavlin, F. Stuart FosterAbstract:Ultrasound Biomicroscopy of the Eye is a comprehensive, practical guide to a new imaging technology. The development of high frequency, high resolution ultrasound imaging has given researchers and clinicians a new tool for understanding and diagnosing Disease of the anterior aspect of the eye and ocular adnexa. For the first time, subsurface ocular structures can be visualized at microscopic resolution in their normal state without violating the eye. This text is written by the authors who originated and developed the technique. Topics covered in this text include an exploration of the basic principles that made this technology possible. A practical guide to technique of examination using newly available equipment is presented. Methods of measurement and values in normals are presented. A comprehensive illustrated overview is presented of the use of this technique in various forms of ocular Disease, including over 300 black and white illustrations as well as a color insert. This includes the use of this technique in corneal Disease, Scleral Disease, intraocular lens implantation, intraocular tumors, and glaucoma.

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in the Assessment of Anterior Scleral Disease
American journal of ophthalmology, 1993Co-Authors: Charles J. Pavlin, Kasia Harasiewicz, Michael Easterbrook, Jefferey J. Hurwitz, F. Stuart FosterAbstract:High-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy is a new method of examining subsurface anterior segment structures of the eye at microscopic resolution. The sclera has a high internal reflectivity and can be differentiated from the cornea, and overlying and underlying tissue. Using this modality, we examined 18 patients with various manifestations of Scleral Disease. Localized anterior staphyloma could be differentiated from other causes of a black spot on the Scleral surface. EpiScleral thickening could be differentiated from involvement of the sclera itself. Different patterns of Scleral involvement could be imaged including diffuse low-reflective mottling, low-reflective nodules extending into the Scleral substance, and Scleral thinning. Scleral thinning could be assessed and quantified. Underlying changes in the vitreous could be detected. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was a useful adjunct to clinical examination in the assessment of anterior Scleral Disease.

destructive corneal and Scleral Disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis medical and surgical management
Cornea, 1995Co-Authors: Elisabeth M Messmer, Stephen C FosterAbstract:The onset of necrotizing scleritis (NS) and peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) in the clinical course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may reflect the presence of systemic, potentially lethal vasculitis. In an effort to better characterize this subset of patients with severe RA-associated corneal and
