Ophthalmic Ultrasonography
Ophthalmic ultrasonography is an essential imaging technique used at Desai Eye Hospital to visualize the internal structures of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and vitreous body. This non-invasive procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images, allowing ophthalmologists to assess a variety of eye conditions, such as retinal detachment, tumors, cataracts, and vitreous hemorrhage.
This diagnostic tool is especially helpful in patients with conditions where the view of the retina or optic nerve is obscured, such as in cases of dense cataracts or vitreous opacities. It provides critical information for detecting abnormalities and planning appropriate treatment.
The procedure is quick, safe, and painless. During the exam, a gel is applied to the eye’s surface, and the ultrasound probe is used to capture high-resolution images of the eye’s internal structures. The resulting images help doctors make precise diagnoses and monitor the progress of eye diseases.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our experienced ophthalmologists use ophthalmic ultrasonography to ensure accurate diagnosis and the best treatment options for each patient, offering advanced care for a range of ocular conditions.
How Does It Work?
- A gel is applied to the eye for clear imaging.
- An ultrasound probe is placed near the eye to emit sound waves.
- Sound waves bounce off eye structures, creating images.
- The images are processed into detailed visuals of the retina and optic nerve.
- The ophthalmologist examines the images for conditions like retinal detachment.
- The procedure is non-invasive with no direct contact inside the eye.
- No radiation is used, making it safe for repeated use.
- Follow-ups may be scheduled to monitor eye health and treatment progress.
